GROUNDING ALL MILITARY PILOTS
Hon. Minister; I am a retired military A310 Airbus Aircraft Commander. I flew with 437 Squadron. I am only now, mentally strong enough to report an Air Incident.
I was deployed to the Middle East for the Second Gulf War. I was deployed, MEDICALLY UNFIT TO FLY.
I was Ordered by my Superiors at National Defense (Department of) 018 to fly on a regular basis over a 6 month period. This Order was followed by me until I could no longer stand the stress of the situation and had a mental breakdown in theatre 5 1/2 months into my tour.
I believe if Senior Air force Officers are Ordering medically unfit pilots to fly, that a full Ministerial Inquiry should be done into the reasons for needlessly endangering so many lives.
Until this point, I recommend as a former Base Flight Safety Officer at Base Trenton, that all military pilots be grounded until cleared by MOT medical staff to resume flight duties
