[QUOTE="dmacdonald, post: 2161593, member: 494173"] Hi All, I am a type 1 diabetic from the UK, and am turning 16 soon however I need to get my medical before I can take my first solo flight. I have phoned up an aviation doctor and they have said that, because of my type 1 diabetes, I will not be able to fly the aircraft solo without a qualified pilot in the other seat, as well as having to be in a dual controlled aircraft. From what I have seen online, I am somewhat confused by this as I have been told by my flight isntructor that I will be able to get my class 2 license, just not my class 1 if i wanted to go for my commercial license. Where's best to start, should I phone up the CAA and see what they have to say? Does anyone know of someone with type 1 diabetes who holds an unrestricted class 2 license? Thanks in advance, Duncan [/QUOTE]
