thank you so much! and wow how restrictive!

The short story. Caveat I am not a doctor: 

 

Type 2 Diabetes - Non-insulin dependent - Low risk of hypoglycaemia

 

 

 

 

 

So it's possible to hold a class 2 medical for 12 months in specific cases but only after A LOT of paperwork, reports by specialists and stuffing around

Unfortunately this only talks of type 2 (im a type 1 insulin dependant)

thanks! yes I have read it but and some other posts and some talk about the class 2 and some people have spoken about "safety pilots". From what im reading so far it looks as though its a hard no to diabetics with type 1 for CPL but not sure about restrictions on RPL or PPL.

How awesome if Yass gets a new aerodrome! I wont have any excuses after that lol

Hey guys!

Have been wanting to get my licence for quite some time (im 43 now) and I live out in Yass. Im doing my research at the moment and it seems that pilots with type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent) are not allowed to hold a licence. I have read a little bit about CASA class 2 medical certificate but cant really see a definitive answer as to what that entails..

I don't really want waste my time dreaming about something that's not achievable under current laws so my research continues!

anyway regards to everyone and thanks for reading :)
