Final Approach
Flight Instructor with Stents
I just got my FAR/AIM manual yesterday, but couldn't find the answer to my question, probably because I don't understand the particular terms associated with heart disease.
My new Flight Instructor had an emergency and had to go in the hospital. They put two stents in his leg. This was Tuesday or Wednesday. He is not supposed to even walk until Saturday.
Now here's the question: I own and insure my own plane. Is he legal to fly and if not, and he insists on flying anyway, what would be the ramifications for me as not only his student, but the owner/operator of the aircraft.
Thanks very much for your help.
Doc (Obviously a nick name or I would understand the medical terms.)
