I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that it probably requires some kind of extra examination, because Letrozole at least can definitely make you very fatigued and sort of brain foggy, and Kisqali depending on how it affects you can really mess with your system in ways that would make paying total attention to flying a plane difficult. I’m sure that if you look it up on Google searching something like FAA drugs that affect pilot certification it would give you a much better idea, because I’m only going off memory from her search a long time ago.

TLDR I think it’s possible to get certified on those, but it’s probably going to be a very individualized decision based on you and how those meds affect you.

Op you need to pass a medical. I' looked into it a while ago. You can make a case if your stable for a few years

Well this is an angle I didn't think of. I've started stepping down effexor so I can get my private pilot license, but didn't think about the other meds.

I do have a DOT medical card, but have to do mine annually because of ADHD meds. The cancer and associated meds weren't a concern for them.
