Hello,

I am training for my PPL at the moment. I have my Class 2 medical coming up however I have a worry about a grass allergy like hay fever.

I am only affected around June with long grass pollen. If I stay out of long grass I am fine. I have had to mention this on the medical form however will this effect whether I pass or not?

Any help for a worried PPL student would be great.

Thanks.

Thank God you weren't gonna ask if you could smoke weed and get away with it :E

I would give the CAA a call and also check out the medical section of the website to see if there are any detailed articles on there:

CAA (http://www.caa.co.uk)

Best of luck,

Maz

I suffer from hayfever and passed the Class 2 with ease. All they say is you must not take antihystimine (sp?) before flying and consequently shouldn't fly whilst suffering from hayfever.
