can you still be considered for the pilot program if you had mental health conditions in the past?

For eg - I have had anxiety/depression but I have received treatment therapy and medication and now completely free from both - would this in my past prevent me from progressing in the pilot program application atall?

    Hi Elizabeth.


    You would need to be eligible for an initial class 1 medical. There is guidance for this at the CAA. Some conditions would require reports from other medical professionals and the examining AME would follow CAA guidlines.


    There is guidance at the CAA website and I'm including a link to point you in the right direction.

    I hope this is helpful.
