Thickened heart valve

[Guest ajaxx3]

I recently had an echocardiogram done to determine the cause of a heart murmur that I have been told it innocent. The results say I have a thickened mitral valve with no sign of mitral valve prolape. I know MVP is a disqualifier for FC1 ( I want to be a pilot) but is a thickend valve also a DQ'er, I have looked at the waiver guide and so no guidance on this. The murmur was not detected in my DODMERB physical it has been intermitten since I was a teenager.

Based on what you've written, it sounds like you should be good to go. Even if there is a disqualifying defect noted...99% of them get waived!

So Minor Mitral Valve Prolapse is disqualifying; however, they give out waivers for it?

Waivers are possible for all flying classes (including FCI) based on degree of severity and likelihood for sudden incapacitation.
