Re: Air Canada Medical
Yes you are but I'm sure it's case by case. The Dr. sent me to an military aerosurgeon sp? at St. Joe's in TO for more testing.ba31pilot wrote:If you are currently a type 2 diabetic (still holding a valid Cat 1 medical) are you able to pass the Air Canada medical?
I passed but it did cost me a few months of seniority waiting for appointments.
I never did lose my medical with my initial diagnosis (pure luck) and was diet controlled at the time of the AC medical.
Keep your head up. I thought I was wasting my time for sure but my AC doctor experiences have been great.

I can guarantee if pilots need 120/80 or better, - there would be exactly zero airlines in business.
...Seems they are going to remove the axe and the control column from the cockpits for security reasons.
Re: Air Canada Medical
I am overweight, out of shape, and diabetic. Yet I still manage to maintain 120/80... I think 140/90 or better would make sense, but I would think that there are plenty of pilots out there who are always 120/80 or better.Redwine wrote:I can guarantee if pilots need 120/80 or better, - there would be exactly zero airlines in business.

Many athletes have high bp.. I believe 140 and above is considered hypertension.
