Loss of medical license for 2 years

[Mdrfly]

Hello,

Last year in August I started my type rating on the B737, passed the skilltest at the end of November and started my line training in December. Unfortunately in January (while still in line training) when I was going home with my Bycicle I fell and was transported to the hospital with Brain haemorhage. Recently the aero-medical section informed me via the phone I will most probably lose my medical for +/- 2 years. Does anyone knows what this means to me in terms of my flying licence. I guess my EASA CPL ME IR flying license as well as my type rating will expire after 1 year, so in November this year. What can/should I do after 2 years to be able to fly again, so to get my licenses current and to get employed by an airline again?

I hope someone can give me some more explanation on this. If someone has experienced something comparable feel free to contact me.

Kind regards.

If you belong to a union, they should be able to help you regain your medical. A lot depends on the attitude of your CAA, but unions usually have access to their own aeromedical experts.

If they had to operate inside your brain, the concern will be possible seizures. Even if you are allowed to drive, you might not be allowed to fly.

If it helps...

757/767 rated but started conversion to EASA 737 rating. Finished sim and started line training. Lost medical for 14 months. Medical returned after surgery proved to be a success. 5 sessions in sim and 8 training sectors on line, with same company. Should be back on line next week.

It was easier since I had "737" written on the licence at the end of the sim training.

Good luck.
