Hi folks
I've previously had a UK CAA Class 2 medical which is expired, and I'm about to attend my Class 1 Initial. The application form requires you to declare if you've ever had any number of listed medical conditions and also if you're on any medication. In completing this (which I've done fully and honestly) it dawned on me that I should have declared a prescription which I've had for the last 5 years, with respect to my prior Class 2 medical. The prescription is only for food enzymes (which you can readily buy on Amazon or any health shop) but nevertheless I should have reported it to an AME. I wasn't aware that I needed to up until now, so it's a genuine oversight. The prescribing doctor confirmed it would have no impact on flying so I didn't think any further action was required.
I'm now very concerned about the consequences and whether it would result in me failing to obtain the Class 1. Does anyone have a view on how this will be perceived by the AME or the CAA? Is it a serious issue? Does the type of medication play a big part?
Thanks
KJ
