i need urgent advice
Hi,
I have a quick question about becoming a pilot. I tried already to post this but I cant see it so I'm making a new one. When I apply for a class 1 medical certificate, will there be any problems because I suffer from mental health problems and have been hospitalised in the past? I suffer from ocd and have high functioning autism. Would these factors stop me from passing and getting a class 1 medical certificate? I do hope not because i really want to become a pilot. I hope somebody could answer and give advice. Thanks |
You would need to contact the CAA medical branch.
Their broad guidance is as follows: Class 1 (a) Where there is suspicion or established evidence that an applicant has a psychological disorder, the applicant should be referred for psychological opinion and advice. (b) Established evidence should be verifiable information from an identifiable source which evokes doubts concerning the mental fitness or personality of a particular individual. Sources for this information can be accidents or incidents, problems in training or proficiency checks, delinquency or knowledge relevant to the safe exercise of the privileges of the applicable licence. (c) The psychological evaluation may include a collection of biographical data, the administration of aptitude as well as personality tests and psychological interview. (d) The psychologist should submit a written report to the AME, AeMC or licensing authority as appropriate, detailing his/her opinion and recommendation Class 2 Applicants with a psychological disorder may need to be referred for psychological or neuropsychiatric opinion and advice. |
