Are there any AME's here that could answer hypothetical questions for me? Or maybe just someone with a similar situation.
To make a long story short, what are the chances of someone getting approved for a class III medical if they are on high blood pressure medicine and diabetic? Does it just involve extra paperwork, but not a problem for the most part? Or is it pretty slim chances that the medical will get approved?
Obviously if the latter is the case, then it'd be better just to not apply and work toward the sport pilot license. But I know the PPL would be a much better option if the medical issues were not an issue to passing the physical.
Any help would be greatly appreciated because I'm hoping we can finally get the ball rolling on getting my father in the air. It's always been his dream, and now that I'm in pilot training for the AF, the bug has bit him good again, and I want to get him rolling down the hill before the fire is gone or faded away. Thanks.
