I'm interested in flying again after 30 years on the deck. I haven't taken
the Cat III physical as I know I'll need a waiver from the FAA because I have a pacemaker implant. I know waivers are possible and I know what the waiver protocol entails. It's very involved and costly. I'm willing to go through this process if I know I have a reasonable chance of getting the waiver. So what I'm looking for is someone who can tell me what my chances are of getting approval. Here's the problem: From the protocol I know the FAA wants to know, among many other things, how often the pacemaker is in operation. In my case, it is working almost constantly. One of my Dr. says this will kill my chances, but another Dr. says this should bode well for me because it tell them that the pacemaker is working. This is the only part of the protocol that I'm concerned about. So here I am, not knowing if I have a chance or if I'm dead in the water. Any info on this will be greatly appreciated. BTW, I'm 63 and flew in the Air Force. Thanks, Ken |
