Diabetes and Flying
Hi all,
I have been considering learning to fly for a while now, and watching the Programme on BBC2 the other night featuring the Round Britain Rally for Microlights has made my mind up that I want to do it.
I am an Insulin controlled Diabetic which limits me to an NPPL, and as EASA appear to have closed off the SSEA and Gliding route to people on Insulin, to Microlighting (which isn't a bad thing as it looks like huge fun!). I have some questions: reading up on the NPPL I get the impression that I would be restricted to flying solo or with a safety pilot, but I have also read that there is potentially a way round this? Also what good Microlight Schools are there located in Essex/East Anglia? (I live in Braintree). Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
