Pregnancy under normal circumstances is not disqualifying. It is recommended that the applicant's obstetrician be made aware of all aviation activities so that the obstetrician can properly advise the applicant. The Examiner may wish to counsel applicants concerning piloting aircraft during the third trimester. The proper use of lap belt and shoulder harness warrants discussion.
Use of Oral or Repository Contraceptives or Hormonal Replacement Therapy are not disqualifying for medical certification. If the applicant is experiencing no adverse symptoms or reactions to cyclic hormones and is otherwise qualified, the Examiner may issue the desired certificate.
Gender dysphoria and gender reassignment are not disqualifying, however, a complete review of the medical history and records is indicated to determine that there is no medical, psychiatric, or psychological condition that is considered disqualifying. Medical disqualification is considered appropriate during the time of hormonal manipulation until such time where there is a stabilization of the dose administered and the physiologic response. Defer and submit a current status report and all pertinent medical reports to AMCD or RFS.
