This database is compiled by the AOPA Medical Certification Department and is based upon confirmation with the FAA Aerospace Medical Certification Division in Oklahoma City. Although these medications are generally allowed by the FAA for flight duties, there are variables with each individual's situation that could render a particular medication inappropriate for flying because of case history or adverse side effects. Some medications are being used "off label". This means that a drug is prescribed for symptoms that do not fall within the FDA's approval guidelines for that drug. This is just one example of why the FAA might not approve a drug that is on the list.



FAR 61.53 prohibits a person from acting as pilot in command or as a required pilot flight crew member while that person (1) "knows or has reason to know of any medical condition that would make the person unable to meet the requirements for the medical certificate necessary for the pilot operation"; or, (2) "Is taking medication or receiving other treatment for a medical condition that results in the person being unable to meet the requirements for the medical certificate necessary for the pilot operation."

It is impossible to give a simple and concise answer to this question.



Generally, you need to be fit and healthy, and whilst certain conditions (such as epilepsy and heart problems) would almost certainly exclude you from holding the necessary medical certificate, it is impossible to state categorically which other conditions - and combinations of conditions would also lead to failure.



The best advice is for you to take a medical examination with an appropriately designated doctor - if you pass, great; if you fail, you will not have wasted money on training and he may also be able to tell you how to rectify the conditions.



I hope this helps.....

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!



1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.



2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.



The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.



After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net



Ohhh..and Good Luck!

The person who said bad eyes, asthma, and overweight it wrong. I wear contacts, was misdiganosed with asthma, and need to lose 5 pounds, and I can still fly. In fact, most pilots I know wear glasses or contacts and most are overweight. Why do people insist on answering questions when they have no idea? Anyway, the authority for this answer in the United States is the FAA. Check out the link in the source box.



The most common conditions that will not allow you to get a medical certificate are depression, substance abuse, myocardial infarction, and insulin dependent diabetes.

When my son wanted to join the USAF he had a normal variation of a minor heart problem and they turned him down because of this. So I would guess that this would be one condition. Also diabetes as you could have low blood sugar and therefore be impaired. Also seizures.



Anti depressives, pain medication or other meds that may make one sleepy or impair reactions are probably on the list.

The neuropathy disease could cause the observable symptoms such as for instance: tingling, prickling sensation, numbness of the region around the influenced nerves, sudden problems, sharp or even using sensation in the nerves.

It is very hard and humiliating for the patients of neuropathy but The Neuropathy Solution Program from here https://tr.im/2Th6M can help you to remove pain of neuropathy in the short time.

Dr. Randall's Neuropathy Solution Program includes just organic ingredients, with zero substance additives. Such organic products purpose in mixture to improve confined circulation of blood, improve circulation, reduce hypertension, and get a handle on all the cardio system.

The biggest thing is that employing these herbal services and products you'll remove that molesting pain.

Start by checking with the issuing agency for your region. Positively I can say any meds that would keep you from driving/walking/working/reading/breathing will keep you from a pilot's license.
