EASA aviation regulations deem applicants unfit for flying with epilepsy or recurring loss of consciousness. Further neurological evaluation is required for conditions like epilepsy remission, EEG abnormalities, nervous system diseases, migraine, head injuries, nerve damage, and vascular deficiencies before fitness assessment. Class 1 medicals require licensing authority assessment.
