Thanks for your reply.

The information I quoted was direct from the CAA Obesity protocol. It didn’t differentiate between classes of Medicals.

With reference to EASA, this is all I can find from their website...

”Applicants with a Body Mass Index  35 may be assessed as fit only if the excess weight is not likely to interfere with the safe exercise of the applicable licence(s) and a satisfactory cardiovascular risk review has been undertaken. The presence of sleep apnoea syndrome should be ruled out.”

The risk review is done at a 6 monthly check by a cardiologist, who using a set of standards, arrives at the percentile chance of you dyin*bin the next ten years. If it’s over 20% then the readmill test has to be done. If you can find the EASA requirement then I’m wrong and all ears.
