Guest MLH Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 What happens to a military pilot who becomes pregnant? Is she immediately off flight status? How long is she at home after the baby is born?
Guest F16PilotMD Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Haven't enountered this before. Here is what AFI48-123 says: A7.22.1. Flying Classes II and III. A7.22.1.1. Pregnancy or other symptomatic enlargement of the uterus due to any cause. Pregnancy waivers for trained flying personnel may be requested under the following guidelines: the request is voluntary and must be initiated by the crewmember with concurrence by the squadron commander, flight surgeon, and obstetrician. Physiological training is waived during pregnancy; flying is restricted to pressurized multi-crew, multi-engine, non-ejection seat aircraft; and crewmembers are released from all mobility commitments. The waiver is valid for the 13th through 24th week of gestation. Sounds like you can fly anything but a fighter/bomber up to 24 weeks with waiver.
