The FAA stopped recording pilot incapacitations in 2022. I believe this is the same year that the FAA widened the ekg parameters. A pilot can now get a first class medical with first degree AV heart block. First degree AV heart block can be indicative of myocarditis. Please correct me if I am wrong. This is such a glaring admission of guilt/knowledge. Someone needs to shout it from the rooftops. I’m glad to see you’re trying.

Thanks for responding Doctor Stillwagon. So an ekg reading ‘abnormal first degree heart block’ can be deemed passable by issuing examiner however the pilot could receive a letter weeks later from the FAA?

In my immediate circle of pilots (family & friends) there has been in the last two years, one heart attack requiring heart surgery, one ekg finding requiring several months off work plus heart meds and now this ‘abnormal’ ekg.
