I'm another with a bicuspid aortic valve, aged 28 with an Australian class-1 medical. I didn't mention the valve to the Doctor when I did the medical but from what has been said above doesn't seem to make any difference. I've been curious about any restrictions due to the valve but it's seem they only take affect if you have a mechnical valve.

As mentioned above the valve is part of a wider disorder, the Aorta itself needs monitoring as it can expand or form whats called an anuersym and rupture, for me this is more of a concern than the valve.

I'd be interested to hear if any other commercial pilots are flying after valve or Aorta replacement, it's great to see life can go on as normal.
