Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)

[Cjserio]

Hello there! A friend of mine has Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH).

Does anyone know if this will cause them difficulty in getting a 3rd class medical? They're interested in getting their PPL.

Yes, I know they will need to see an actual FAA Medical Examiner (of course) but they'd like to know in advance if this is a complete deal breaker or if it'll be no issue at all or if there's some middle ground.

If anyone has information or can tell me where I could find a list of limiting conditions online that would be appreciated.

If completely mineralocorticord replaced it is special issuance!

Thank you for the response!

This person is very active in junior ROTC and able to exceed all physical fitness requirements for it. Do you have a gut feeling whether or not this would be an easy case for the FAA to approve or if this is going to be a difficult battle?
