Why are HIV positive people unable to become pilots?
According to the CAA, which is responsible for aviation safety regulations in the UK, certain medical conditions prevent would-be pilots obtaining the necessary certificate. These include being HIV positive, organ transplantation or having type 1 diabetes.
Pilots who already hold a commercial licence but later develop one of the conditions would still be able to operate.
However their licence would change and only allow them to fly with a co-pilot. This is known as an operational multi-crew limitation (OML) licence.
And how many civil airlines allow single pilot operation?
