One kidney and Class 1 Medical
Hi,
I am hoping to embark on training to become a commercial pilot in the near future. I had one kidney removed when I was a baby and I was wondering if anyone on here knows if this would in any way prevent me from obtaining a JAA Class 1 Medical?
Many thanks

I donated a kidney back in July and got my class one back last month without any fuss. The only difference I can see between us is that you have not passed your initial class one which might be an issue although I cannot see why it should be. Good luck in your application.

A friend of mine lost a kidney after he bailed out of a Voodoo. He completed his career in the air force and recently retired after a career in the airlines. He had no problems maintaining his class 1 certificate.
