Matt is a type 1 diabetic and drone pilot who has been fighting to obtain his 3rd class medical. Matt shares with us some of his hardships and everything he’s endured to try and become a private pilot. Everyone deserves the chance to fly, especially after multiple doctors have given you a clean bill of health. To help pilots like Matt and others, please share and sign my petition for aeromedical reform.
