Flight Physical after 2 Knee Surgeries

[yaflyingboi]

I know this topic has been brought up in the past and I am wondering if anyone has updated information on the matter. I had two ACL and Meniscus surgeries after which I gained full functionality. What would be the impact of this when having the flight physical ?

 

Cheers in advance for any help !

Depends on the airframe to some extent, and wether you’ll be able to egress it without issue and then if you can do your primary job… if it is an initial FC it will be more extensively evaluated, if you are 15 years in -less so, as bodies breaking down is to be expected and you are already a sunk cost.
