Class 1 medicals

Post by Pilot101 »

Just curious what if any issue arises from moderate to high blood pressure. The TC web site is not all that specific regarding high blood pressure and medical clearance. I would have to assume that some pilots have moderate to high blood pressure, and continue to fly. Any comments would be helpfull.

If you go to the Transport website their publications link has the CAME guide. There is a section in the guide regarding high blood pressure and what would trigger a medical refusal. If memory serves me correctly your pressure wuld have to be significantly high to warrant a refusal. I would find the link for you but the Transport site confuses me......
