Sinus Problem
Hi there,
Does anybody know what my situation would be on passing a JAR Class 1 Medical for becoming a Commercial Airline Pilot. I have had experience with sinus problems in the past and 3 yrs ago had sinusitis which was painful. In the last couple of years sometimes when I get a cold my sinuses become quite blocked for a couple of weeks, until I use medication to heal me. For the rest of the time my sinus are fine and I usually have no problem equalising. I've even done a bit of scuba diving and have no problem equalising there either.
Would I fail a Class 1 test and / or will no airline take me on as a pilot? And if I was to have any type of operation to improve my sinuses would this jeapodise my potential career?
Any information would be appreciated.
