Medical Condition - Pacemaker

Hello,

I wanted to get some input regarding whether or not having a pacemaker would disqualify me from pursuing aviation. Would the Aviation Medical Examiner have to be the one to determine whether or not I am able to pursue this? I am considering aviation but I want to ask ahead of time before I pursue it more. Let me know when you have a chance.

Best,
Isaac V.

Isaac,

This is a question for an AME and one that only they can answer for certain. I recommend you contact one before you take any further action.

Isaac,

Here is the link to find the nearest AME:

Thank you very much, one last question: Would a neurological disorder be grounds for disqualification as well even though it can be stable with prescribed medication?

Isaac,

I’m sorry but again, we’re just pilots and these are questions for an AME.
