Oh oh , went for lapl medical today, didn't even get to start.
I have AF and according to my AME that's game over, no medical of any sort.
I have found the CAA document " Pilots with atrial fibrillation: Guidance for Certification/ assessment of stroke risk for Cardiologists and AME's." issue 02/2016 v 1.1'
It gives a score from zero (best) to >5( worst) and matches it against licence type, from class 1 down to restricted lapl.
I have a score of zero plus a cardiologist report of no other health issues at all.
Can any one shed any light as to whether it carries any weight ( flyinDutch?)
I read it as allowing medical certificates for my condition,
perhaps I'm just whistling in the dark.
To be fair my AME looked for it when I mentioned it to him, but hadn't heard of it and could not find it.
I want an EASA licence to tour abroad, a big part of my flying.
Fingers crossed.
