Special issuance

I’m currently a Flight Attendant, pondering the idea of pilot. However, about 5 years ago I hit my head and had a small TBI. I know this can disqualify someone, but I’ve read about special issuances. I’ve had no further issues or any related problems since then, but searching for information about all of this on the internet is very daunting and extensive. Can anyone offer advice, or where to search out help?

Alexis,

While some on here may offer advice, know that none of us are doctors and ever case is looked at on a individual basis. You need to find an AME (Aviation Medical Examiner) in your area and have a conversation with them.

Alexis,

Welcome to the forum, like Adam mentioned, none of us are Aviation Medical Examiners, you can find your nearest one via Find an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) and click the hyper link to search by “AME.”

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
