Hi,
Well spotted! I had missed that one.
To be frank, I think you will find it hard to get a commercial job as a diabetic. If you were an employer, faced with someone with no experience, would you choose the person who might not be so flexible over one who would not need to go through the testing and monitoring regimes outlined by the CAA?
This will, however, be a huge benefit to existing pilots who have gained a lot of experience and skills, much of it acquired due to a significant financial contribution by their employer, and therefore can continue in their chosen field.
The fantastic news, of course, is that you can now fly and take passengers with you even as a private pilot. Good to see the CAA recognisng modern medical procedures.
Look forward to you visiting us!
