jobs without a class1
 

I was wondering that if after getting my ppl (a) and discovering I cannot get a class one medical is there any jod I could get to fly for free?? Is flying instruction completely out the window?

legally, It still leaves you some options, and do it for the love of flying, and not for the pay (i.e. you won't get paid). You can become a flight instructor, though the details escape me. you can also do glider towing, and para dropping. However as you won't have a cpl (no class 1 medical no cpl) you will have to do everything for free.

Yeah I would gladly fly/instruct for free as I have just bought a new house so funds are very limited!
I failed a class one because of colour perception problem but scooting around teaching new students to fly would be a great part time hobby. If anyone has any ways round this i would be very greatful.

I seem to recall a similar discussion with our CFI. It may be the case that you can get a restricted Class 1. As the name implies this will restrict the work that you can do, but I believe it will allow you to instruct. Best of all the restriction will be lifted if you complete at least 500 hours without incurring any problems as a result of your condition.

I have no idea if your particular condition precludes you from having a restricted medical but I would imagine that it worth finding out, assuming you have not done so already.

Best of luck whatever you do.
