I have a defibrillator ICD which also has a pacemaker. Flying is no problem. I have a card to show security I can't walk through the metal detector. It could be fatal. I'm physically frisked.

- Can I be a commercial airline pilot if I take Prozac for ocd? I've recently decided to go down the path of becoming a commercial airline pilot, but I just wanted to know if I would be medically cleared by the faa if I take Prozac for ocd. My OCD has never been debilitating I've worked as a firefighter for about a year and have come across some very stressful situations but I've always kept my cool. I know that I should really ask a physician this but I was just wondering if anyone could give me any kind of answer, much appreciated.
- Why is it illegal to fly a drone around a commercial airline? If someone was flying there drone around a plane trying to land at Chicago O'Hare why would that be illegal? I saw this on the news. Is it because the pilot of the airline is incompetent?
