Flying with type 1 diabetes

[GordoPA44]

Hi guys,

I thought some people would like to know that I have been given a class 1 medical (Australia/CASA) At the moment It is with a multi-crew restriction but I hope to push for a restriction free medical in the future. As far as I can tell I am the first in Australia to have obtained a class 1 with T1D

Please PM if you would like more information.

Really good news, Gordo.

A member of my family has had T1D for 45 years. He has flown very safely for well over 1000 hours solo in sailplanes.
