Hello All,
What an interesting topic.
I'm a migraine sufferer myself. I have migraines with aura, which in my case is a slight visual aura, with colored zigzags for about 15 minutes followed by a very mild headache or no headache at all. I get them maybe once every 3-4 months.
I emailed Finnish CAA and asked them about my condition with regard to getting a class 2 for PPL training. They said that ONLY if I get migraines MAX 1-2 times/year and very mild even then, will I be able to apply for Class 2. And even then it's an exception that will have to be discussed and decided upon as a separate special case.
It's interesting to read that in some parts of the world people can get Class1 and pursue a professional career (something that has been my dream since I was about 8, now 26), while in Finland I can't even fly a small prop with my almost non-existant migraine.
What should I do ? Just accept it, I guess...
