Default Foot factor

Hello,

I am getting ready to start a carrer as a pilot and before I get heavily in debt and wanted to know if my foot is going to be a problem with getting my first class medical. I broke my foot about 6 years ago and I have a few screws in there now. My doctors say they can remove the screw at anytime but I just haven't had time to get it done. I am able walk just fine and I can jog a little(much more comfortable on the sationary bike). I want to take my new career as far as I can, however, settling for a second class would be ok as long as I could eran a living.

Thank for your info.

It will make no difference. You can even fly with one foot
