RE: AMA and Disabilities
wow...I wonder what the percentage is of old guys in the AMA that have Pacers...I'll bet it is much higher than you all think.
A Defibrillator and a pacemaker are the same thing..a small device implanted under the skin, that is connected to the heart and shocks the heart if it sees irregular beats.
We also are not talking "Pilot Liscense" regulations here...just guys flying toys around...and while these toys CAN be dangerous, ill bet the majority of folks reading this have crashed planes for other reasons than a health condition. Epliepsy is entireley diffrent also, unless it had been under control for some length of time (Seizure free for more than 2 years, etc).
I would let him fly...
