Bully AME
A friend is starting his aviation journey. He was told to get a medical, but where we live we have no AME's, we have to travel to UK to get them . I took said friend on a flight to Guernsey so he could see flying without the constant instructing, and could ask questions. I told him to find an AME anywhere on the west side of UK so we could drop in o the way home and he could get his medical. We dropped into Hawarden. No names , no pack drill but that AME is a bully. First thing he said when friend went into his office " If you have lied on your form, you can get a £10,000 fine or jail . Friend mentioned something that there was nowhere on the form to put anything, well that was a "lie" so the threats started. He also mentioned that he had a small ( 1 inch diameter) bruise on his arm from an accident. He was told he had to get a full eye test from an optician (??) and also he had to have a flight test with a flight instructor , not his own instructor , one chosen by this AME, to check that he could egress the aircraft . This was because of a small bruise on his arm. There is only one instructor where we live, so Friend had to travel to UK to this "designated" instructor to prove he could get in and out of an aircraft.
This AME is absolutely diabolical, a bully and should lose his AME privileges.
Anyone else come across this person?
