msgrappling Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I just had back surgery and was prescribed painkillers. I'm about to begin flight training in New Jersey and will need to get an FAA exam. Does anyone know if this prescription will disqualify me? Is there a website that lists prohibited prescriptions? Are all prescriptions allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you can not fly while taking the pain medication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
