There are many misconceptions surrounding the medical requirements for pilots and the common belief is that pilots aren't allowed to have any medical issues what so ever, something that isn't completely true...
For example - did you know that pilots can wear glasses? Or that most people fall within the allowed height quota?
An EASA Medical Class 1 is a requirement to become a professional pilot and needs to be renewed each year. This is a requirement from the Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA) and your pilot certificate is worthless without a valid medical certificate.
