class one questions.........

Looking for pilots who have had asthma, and passed the class one. Do they lower your peak flow value because you have asthma? I'm quite worried about the spirometry tests. Im just under 6ft weigh 9 and a half stone and can get high 400 early 500 scores is this enough?

Red face seven months ago . . . . . . .

Thank you for all the help guys. The CAA rang me up and said I can go for the class one.

Can't wait......
So what has happened since January 2008, then ?

A peak flow in excess of 500 litres/min should present no problem at all.

Red face same standards in everybody . . . . . .

how they set their marker when assessing a peak flow reading from someone who has asthma
The standard to pass the Class 1 JAR medical is the same for everyone, irrespective of past history, or present alleged conditions.

The AME manual gives the expected PEF for healthy adult male pilots as between 500 and 700 litres/min.

Good luck ! Let us know how you get on - but just once.
