After getting a flight physical done at an AF base back in march, it was discovered that I have an asymptomatic Wolff Parkinson White pattern on my EKG. I consulted the Navy aeromedical waiver guide and saw that if I have a normal echocardiogram, and if I am non-inducible during an EP study, then it is considered disqualifying/waiver recommended. Well fast-foward to now, I have had a normal echocardiogram, and I had an EP study where it was determined that I am non-inducible to a tachycardia. This was submitted to BUMED for approval and I got a waiver from them.
Now I am in the process of trying to schedule a flight physical down at Pensacola. He notified me that the NAMI liason said that many candidates with WPW were denied having a flight physical scheduled at all, despite being cleared by BUMED; thus losing their air contracts. My question is, how likely is it for me to be denied a flight physical or a NAMI waiver for my condition? And does anyone have any experience with this particular condition? I wasn't worried since the waiver guide states that my situation is CD/WR, but now that my OSO is saying people are getting turned away for this, I am a little concerned. Any input is greatly appreciated.
