Will having mild asthma ruin my dream?
I am a sophomore in high school and I have 54 hours logged so far with my PP. I love flying, I wan't to peruse a career as an airline pilot in the future. To my understand I need to pass the FAA Medical Exam (First Class). I have mild asthma, and my doctor says I am growing out of it. I have never been hospitalized for it, nor am I on steroid medication. The only thing that has triggered my minor asthma is being around dogs and cats. In terms of my physical health with asthma... I am on the road to become a division one collegiate soccer player, and it does not affect me out on the field at all. Are there pilots with asthma, can I be one of them?
