Smile ask at the Belgrano . . . . . . . !

Does anyone know if hemochromatosis is disqualifying (JAA class 1 medical) ?
Can't give you a precise or definite answer to that, though my general feeling is that if well treated, well controlled, well monitored and asymptomatic, then it should not be a problem . That would also appear to accord with the previous post.

The best way to be absolutely sure would be to ask one of the AMA's ( Aero Medical Advisors - gorgeous aviation trained nurses !) at the CAA. General queries like this will often be answered anonymously if you were cautious about identifying yourself at first.
