If he eats some he could lose consciousness. He said he was on a

are to PIC. Apparently peanuts give of a dust that some are very
allergic to (learn something new everyday). He did use a spoon once
that had been used for peanut butter and apparently not cleaned well
enough and he dropped to the floor.
It would just be too bad if he couldn't fly. If he's exposed to nuts
he would know right away, its not like he could be fine, take off, and
then discover nuts in the plane. However, if someone opened some in
the cockpit it could be bad.

If he really wants to fly I think his only option is to go LSA and buy his
on plane and NEVER let any food product that he isn't 100% sure is peanut
free ever enter the aircraft.

And if he can't stick himself in the leg with an epi-pen and continue to
fly I wouldn't even suggest that. I'd even go so far as saying he needs to
test himself on this with another pilot in the plane with him.


Seriously, from a purely practical as opposed to regulatory viewpoint, that
is the only real solution--if he really wants to fly.
