Temporary grounded. For the military pilots, it is (probably) a dead sentence, including for the pilots in Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI). Once it is stated by Indonesian Institute of Aerospace Medicine (Lakespra Saryanto), the pilot is banned for flying for a period of time. Overweight is the main cause, as pronounced by Indonesian Air Force (IAF) Chief of Health Service, Marsma TNI dr.M.F.Mulyono, SpTHT (KL) in Health Service Technical Meeting of IAF. Beside overweight, high cholesterol and/or triglyceride also become the main concern, he explained further in front of over than 100 medical corps officers. Yes, it is our pilots who face overweight, high cholesterol, high triglyceride, etc!
