VX......
I would advice You to ask this question in the medical thread.
I think You need the Moderators to move this Thread for You.
Unfortunately for You there is no way You can be part of the professional side of the flight deck.
But if it is any comfort the glory days are gone.
I for one still enjoy it, mostly driving my FOs raged with old war stories Monty Pyton style! " Autopilot, bahh , I remember the old Beech 200,bla bla bla"
Gliders or ultralight?
A lot of my FOs do kitesurfing
Hangliders was all the rage in the 80s, and is close to real flight?
BTW: FAA is relay the one You should contact!?
I wish You luck on Your quest!
Kind regards
