Anosmia post covid?
Anybody lost their smell/taste post Covid19 and subsequently have a problem with their medical? There has to have been at least a few pilots who temporarily lost their smell, I'm curious if the inability to perhaps smell a fuel leak or other noxious gasses could lead to a denial of a Class 1. I cut and pasted this out of the FAA medical guidance: "Anosmia is at least noteworthy in that the airman should be made fully aware of the significance of the handicap in flying (inability to receive early warning of gas spills, oil leaks, or smoke). Further evaluation may be warranted."
