PPL medical with a previous mental health condition.
I have a serious question please.
And no this friend is not the ubiquitous "friend" when talking about myself, I've no interest, and never had, in gaining a PPL.
The friend in question, whom I and his partner, are actively trying to dissuade from learning to fly, he's had four flights so far, has, in the past, been diagnosed as being bi-polar, will be on medication for life, suffers from depression and takes mood stabilisers medication ( which is a new one to me ).
However, he is classed as fulfilling the DVLA medical driving requirements.
Which is why I wish to enquire if, with his medical history, he would, if not should, be permitted to fly ?
