ATC - JAA Class 1 Medical.
Hi again, guys,
Today I'm posting on behalf of a friend of mine who has aspirations for a career as an ATCO.
The situation is that she has Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and also asthma. She may grow out of the epilepsy in the two years she has left on her degree course.
It is apparant from researching the situation that a JAA Class 1 Medical certificate is required for the sponsorship scheme that NATS offer. Is this across the board?
How strict is the medical? Would having epilepsy automatically rule out a career as an ATCO? If she grew out of the epilepsy would she still be ruled out?
Thanks for your help, folks.
