No457_Mirage Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hi Gents, I've just been informed by my doctor that diabetics are not allowed to fly solo and must have another qualified pilot with them at all times, is this really the case, is there any appeal opportunity. Thank in advance. Mirage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crezzi Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Depends what you fly - for recreational, you simply provide the RAAus office with a GP statement that you meet the medical standard for a drivers licence. You can then exercise whatever privileges you have on your pilot certificate Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebob Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hi, Have a look on the CASA web site they made a statement re diabetics a couple of months ago, copy and take to your doctor he has not got all the facts. For RAA as per Crezzi said. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnerj Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hi, The rules changed last month, (for Type 1 diabetes) you can now fly solo, after meeting certain strict criteria and having 15 flights with a 'safety' pilot with you. PM me if you like. Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
