I have rarely missed any days from being sick but some things just hang on more than others.
And by flying when you are not fit, you are violating FARs. A lot of people overlook these things. Sometimes it is not the condition that makes you unfit, it's what you are taking. Antihistamines make you more susceptible to hypoxia. So does having a chest full of crud.
Four sick events.
I believe you are violating FAR 117 if you fly unfit. And yes, drugs can make you dequal as well. It's a two fold hurdle. First, can I fly this aircraft with these symptoms safely? If so, can I fly while using these meds to alleviate the symptoms?
