I'm a OML of some 3-4 years now. I'm an OML because of medication no medical professional says I need, but the CAA claim I do, just in case.

When I presented medical advice claiming there was no need to take the medication and was considered safe, I was told by the CAA that I (yes me) had to produce a peer-backed study proving that there was a 1% or less chance of incapacitation. This is despite the fact that according to the CAA no pilot has ever been incapacitated with my issue. Go figure. They are a bunch of &$^%£&*@ in my view, that cannot back anything up.

Doesn't help that CAA Medical is now run by an ophthalmologist....even the AME's pass comment on the ridiculous decisions that come out of there....
