  1. I am a pilot select for OTS and have a mild case of PE. Not sure what my specific Haller index or depth is, but it is not very noticeable. However, at MEPS I had to go back for a "consult" and was sent to a hospital for chest x-rays. After this I was cleared for military service. I live a fairly active lifestyle but have never had issues. I am wondering if this is something that could potentially hold me up or DQ me at my flying class physical which I am expecting to compelte within the next couple weeks. One potential concern I could see an examiner having is the G-force loading of high performance aircraft on someone with PE, with regards to how it affects the heart and lungs. I am posting this to see if anyone can speak on this subject or has experience with PE. There is plenty of information on PE on the internet, but not much in the way of how it could affect military aviation.
