an appeal should normally be based on the CAA’s failure to follow correct procedure and not because you don’t agree with their decision. That said, in the past they have considered appeals based only on the decision and the appeal ’board’ worked hard to find reasons to reverse the decision. If you lawyer up, it is probable that the CAA will just bring some of their legal department along…..and they are not paying by the minute! Whatever your challenge, bringing in lawyers is unlikely to help.

Depending on the reason you need a medical, you might approach the professional body that represents industry people in that sector for help. But if you are just starting out, you might do well to consider whether you have a medical condition which, ultimately, will bring your career to an early end and, thus, whether the investment you make will be paid back. You may not like reading that but it is the flip side of the question.
