Jordynne Grace Hits Roadblock in Pilot’s License Journey After ADHD Diagnosis Triggers FAA Disqualification

Jordynne Grace’s pursuit of a pilot’s license has run into a significant obstacle. The TNA star shared on Facebook that after successfully passing her FAA Airman Knowledge Test — a meaningful milestone on the path to becoming a licensed pilot — she hit a wall when she sought FAA medical clearance. On May 21st, Grace was disqualified from obtaining that clearance due to an ADHD diagnosis.

The FAA medical certification process is a well-known hurdle for aspiring pilots, and certain medical conditions, including ADHD, can complicate or block clearance depending on a variety of factors. Grace had already demonstrated real commitment to the goal by clearing the knowledge test, making the disqualification a frustrating setback after putting in the work.

Grace has been open about her personal pursuits outside the ring, and her interest in aviation had been a topic she’d discussed publicly before. The Facebook post serves as a candid update to fans who had been following her progress on this non-wrestling goal.

It remains to be seen whether Grace will explore any avenues to appeal or address the medical disqualification, as some pilots do work through waivers or additional evaluations when faced with similar situations. For now, her path to the cockpit is on hold — though if her track record inside the squared circle is any indication, a setback is unlikely to be the end of the story.
