Just wondering, would you agree that getting an FAA medical is the absolute barrier to becoming a pilot, over other barriers such as money and time? The reason why I think is while some people can improve their health, there are certain medical conditions such as ADHD and other severe mental illness that could prevent a person from learning to fly, no matter how mild it is or how much their condition improved with or without medication, right?
I believe that you can have the time and money to fly when the conditions are right like when you have a good paying job or if you make the time to fly, but for the medical, if you are born with something like ADHD or other severe mental illness, then no matter what you try to do to improve your condition, you cannot meet the FAA medical standards to fly. Would you agree that the FAA medical is the biggest hurdle for some to overcome?
