On the FAA 8700-2 Comprehensive Medical Examination Checklist (04-17):
Section 18. Mark “Yes” if you have ANY TIME in your life. I especially take exception to question “t.” Rejection for life or health insurance. I’ve seen this question on older FAA Medical Forms too.
Yes, I have had an insurance clerk reject me for health insurance. I was 60+ years old in great health. They cherry picked one blood pressure test from my record that was 130 over 90 and called me pre-hypertensive and denied my application.
I hate marking Yes for that and end up explaining it on every future application I make.
The FAA has gone too far with that question.
