Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A fighter pilot with a single left frontal lobe infarction and probable mitral valve prolapse and supraventricular arrhythmias is presented. He was found unfit for flying duties as a fighter pilot, but because of his experience and expertise he was restricted to flying with a qualified copilot in aircraft other than fighters, with regular aeromedical followup.
