jel1990 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 So I’ve done quite a bit of research on the topic. Based on what I’ve found, BAV is disqualifying for all classes of flight. It is, however, waiverable. That’s where I’m a little confused. Moderate aortic regurgitation is waiverable for FCII and for low G aircraft but it is not waiverable for FCI. Does that mean that flying for the Air Force, ANG, or reserves just isn’t an option for me? I have moderate leakage. No other issues. No symptoms. Just happened to be found on an echo I had done due to family history or heart issues. Based on my understanding, I could fly heavies under FCII but since I can’t pass FCI I can’t fly heavies. Am I understanding that correctly? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaser Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 You should be able to get a waiver to fly anything that doesn’t require a G-suit with your BAV as long as you are asymptomatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
