Hi whirlygig...
Sadly so, as I had a letter from them today which was quite specific about this - although in actual fact I am definitely no more or less able to fly NOW than when I first got my PPL and / IMC / Night ratings - except for a bit of stress at home and work, which I foolishly admitted to my last medical renewal!
Strangely enough though, the only time I EVER feel totally happy, relaxed, focussed. and at one with the world is whilst flying - which makes it even more of a shame that I can't do it more often! Oh well.
But I guess to the powers that be it's a bit like the old problem with say, antidepressants - ie that most people get depressed at some time or another - and you are just as capable of deciding to turn kamikaze if NOT taking meds for depression - yet one could easily argue that whilst ON the meds, it is far less likely!
Sorry - not exactly my situation - but just as much of a non-starter where flying is concerned!
I'll shut up now!!!
