FAA - Medical - Atrial Fibrillation
Hi Everyone I am considering a career change from Australia to USA. 15,000 total time B737NG Captain with 9000 hours.
Unfortunately I have had 2 episodes of Atrial Fibrillation in the last 3 years. Both resolved by itself. This leads to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (Australia) placing a multi crew restriction on my medical. Does the FAA have a similar policy or is it now allowed at all? Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers Servo |

Thank you VERY much for the link. The information provided is very similar to what is required here in Australia. Good to know.
Interested to hear from anyone that has or had AF and how you have dealt with it in the USA. Appreciate the replies and information. Thank you. Take care. Cheers Servo |
You might consider employing Dr. Bruce Chien for consultation prior to any actual submissions to the FAA, he's the go-to consultant AME in FAA-world.(I have no personal experience).
