Aviation Medical

Post by jordan26 »

Hello everyone,

I’m a former hockey player who had a minor concussion last winter, I’ve since moved my time to pursuing my PPL however Transport Canada has flagged that concussion for further review, they sent me non applicable questions.

However my issue is that I have no documentation of this injury since it was so minor. I did go to a clinic today and got all the boxes like no hospitalization or imaging checked off, will this be enough to pass? I’m very concerned that they are going to deny me my medical because of a minor sports injury 7 months ago…

There should be documentation available from the doctor/medical center who diagnosed the concussion. If you don’t provide it willingly they can find the information themselves. It’s best to provide information they request. You’re actually suppose to.

You'll be fine, but may have some hoops to jump through. I would get a report from a neurologist documenting exactly what you've said here - that you've been asymptomatic for x months.
