I too have a nut allergy, and was prescribed adrenaline injectors as a child/teenager. I have had blood tests in the past that show I do have allergies to particular nuts. Because of this, I was told I wouldn’t be able to obtain a Class 1 and therefore never went for an initial medical.
I now intend to do one in the coming weeks, but I thought I’d ask how difficult it was to obtain your CAA medical (because of our similar situations), and if they issue initial medicals with OML’s? (I have seen this has changed numerous times in the past?).
Thank you for any info you can provide and I hope your situation with EASA is resolved.
Hi there,
Generally speaking, I believe the UK CAA deal with medical issues on a case by case basis. That being said, there is an Allergy Flowchart that they use to deal with Medical applications (see my other posts for a copy).
Based on that flowchart, you would be able to obtain a class one medical with an OML (initial medical), but that would first require assessment by an immunologist and a report for the CAA.
Could I ask why you are only going for a UK class 1 and not a dual medical?
Best of luck!
