Hi , I am new to these forums so please bear with me.
5 Years ago I had a partially collapsed lung from playing football. ( Traumatic Pneumothorax ) I am 100% healthy now, is this going to disqualify me from becoming a pilot, are they going to consider that freak accident a history?
I know if i mention this during the medical they are going to want to see my civilian medical history for sure , which to the best of my knowledge no longer exists , as my DR has retired and was in another province. ( I havent been to a Dr in 3+ years now)
So my main questions here are :
1) Will this past injury disqualify me from pilot.
2) Will they be looking at my civilian medical history no matter what?(if one can be tracked down)
3) What is involved in the further pilot medicals that take place later.
