[QUOTE="Cap'n M, post: 698760, member: 141117"] Sarmuhabat, I'm not sure which country you are posting from. Anyway, in UK the CAA Medical Branch consider the licencing issues for a private flying licence [NPPL or Class 2] to be the same as driving a car i.e. Metformin normally presents no problems [see below].... [SIZE=5][B]The Standards[/B][/SIZE] The medical standards are based on the [URL='https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/at-a-glance']DVLA driving medical standards[/URL]. If there is nothing in your medical history which would stop you reaching a DVLA Group 2 standard for professional driving, you can obtain a National PPL without any medical limitations. If you have a past history of significant illness but meet the Group 1 standard for private driving, you will only be able to fly either solo or with another '[URL='http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?categoryid=49&pagetype=90&pageid=10343']safety[/URL]' pilot qualified on your aircraft type. A pilot acting as a safety pilot must be appropriately briefed. Other limitations may be imposed on individual pilots depending on the advice received from an MDA. Your GP’s countersignature is to confirm the lack of any medical history which would preclude you meeting the appropriate DVLA standard. Your GP is entitled to charge you for this service.
