Nose Bleeds + x 2 Cautery
Hello all,
Does anyone know if having your nose cauterized (twice) can effect pilot application to the AAC/RAF/FAA?
I've been almost 5 years clear of a nose bleed, but have read that indivduals have come into trouble with nasal cautery.

It's quite a common procedure Alister.
Sorry, not sure of the regs, I'm sure someones written one somewhere.
5 years seems a long time, have you flown at altitude since ?

I've had 8+ hours in Grobs and other light aircraft with an alt up to 9,000ft and no bleeds + commercial flights.
The reasons for the bleeds were:
1. A large vein was the suspicion for the bleeds.
2. The 2nd time was due to the area looking 'raw'.
No bleeds since.

A
