Left Bundle Branch Block and Class 1 Medical
I was diagnosed with LBBB in Dec 97, and my Class 1 Medical was suspended
by the CAA. Following a consultation with a CAA cardiologist, I was required to undergo extensive cardiac examination (including an Angiogram and an Electrophysiological Study). This all took about 3 months by the time the data had been collected and submitted to the CAA. Eventually the CAA medical panel reinststed my Class 1 with an OML (as or with qualified co-pilot) restriction, and I was required to undergo a 6 monthly 24 hour Holter (ECG) check and exercise ECG to keep the situation under review.
After 2 years, this was changed to an annual review, and I continue to fly as I approach my 60th birthday.
Throughout the whole process I found the CAA medical department very helpful and supportive in helping me to continue my flying career.
