Class 1 with CKD
Hello all,
Does anybody on here know if it's possible to get a class 1 with stage 4 kidney disease? I'm a 36 year old otherwise healthy male. I am stable, and have been on top of it for a year now since I got diagnosed with it and actually have improved my condition slightly.
Is it possible to still get and maintain a class 1 in this state?
I'm currently not a pilot, but do want to start training asap all the way up to my ATP, medical permitting.
Thank you in advance!
-David

I doubt you’ll get an unrestricted Class 1. Due to a similar ailment requiring a nephrectomy, my Class 1 only entitled me to fly “As or with Co-pilot”, even though it was acknowledged that I was no longer deemed ill.
My Class 2 privileges were not restricted, but that’s no good for most meaningful employments.

Two crew ops only. It wouldn’t necessarily restrict you to being a Co-pilot/first officer.
