Listener Questions From TH-cam:
I think you should do an episode with a veteran with a VA disability, who became a pilot. What was his/her obstacle to getting a 1st class medical?
Perceived Medical Challenges for Pilots:
Perfect Eyesight is not a requirement.
Medications you might think will prevent you from obtaining a medical.
VA medical disability must be disclosed but most can still obtain a medical.
Consult an AME consultant or an attorney specializing in the process.
SSRI Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

My advice. Do your research!

Any kind of psychosis diagnosis will not allow you to fly.

I depends on the diagnosis. Here is an interesting article from the FAA: www.faa.gov/pilot-mental-fitness . Also, if you want a consultation with an AME consultant on the specific condition reach out to one of the services on our resources page: www.aviationcareerspodcast.com/resources/. Of course if you want some assistance navigating the process we can help through our coaching at : www.aviationcareerspodcast.com/coaching/. Hope this helps.
