I wish to obtain my private pilot's license, but first I must determine if I am medically elibible. I have found the FAA very difficult to communicate with. I could not get the information I need from their website or hotline number. I sent them 2 letters, one was ignored and the second was returned because I did not have a room number in their address.
Could someone who is knowledgeable with FAA medical regulations please evaluate my basic medical profile and advise me if I could pass my physical for my PPL?
My major medical issues are the following:
Heart attack. 24 years ago. No subsequent heart trouble.
Colon cancer. 11 years ago. No subsequent cancer complaints.
Sleep apnea. CPAP therapy with 99% compliance.
Diabetes. Under control with daily glucose readings under 130.
Arthritis. Both knees.
Any advice on this matter would be appreciated, as it would save me much unnecessary expense if I began my flight training and found out that I could not pass the FAA physical.
Cordially,
