Back Injuries
Hi,
Does anyone have any experiences of gaining a class 1 medical and subsequently a job flying with a back injury that they are willing to share.I have a back injury to the thorassic area of my back,it does not stop me flying but it may get me medically retired from my present job,so i will have to declare it at the medical. The AME who did my class 2 said the worst the CAA medical examiner could do is make me sit a flying test to see if it affected the operation of an aircraft. He also said that although I may gain a class 1 he was not sure how favourably an employer would look upon someone who had a history of back problems. Any comments,suggestions or information is greatly appreciated.
