  • Summary

  • Hemochromatosis is an iron storage disease that affects not only the liver, but also the heart, kidneys, and central nervous system. Although not the most common condition, it is often associated with a genetic abnormality -- and those with the gene are typically unaware of it until middle-age. The key is in screening for it -- before it becomes a significant medical problem. What about pilots who have hemochromatosis? Can they be certified? What is the process? This episode covers the details of this condition and the potential aeromedical pitfalls.
