Greetings all,
I am a military pilot and facing the possibility of permanently losing my medical cat. The medical condition requiring the current temporary downgrade has now cleared completely and I am back to full health (I had some spinal inflammation which led to a loss of sensation in my arm). However as my consultant cannot guarantee it will never reoccur (can anyone guarantee anything about the future?!) I have been warned that when my case comes up for review in about a month, I may be downgraded to 2-pilot-ops (I currently fly single-pilot-ops) or lose my flying medical altogether
.
I am wondering whether, even if I lose my military med cat altogether, I would have any chance of gaining a civil med cat that would enable me to fly professionally. (I'm only 25 and don't fancy spending the rest of my life on the ground) Are the decisions of military and civilian doctors generally identical?
I have been somewhat vague as to the specifics of my case since my colleagues are unaware of details, and should I retain my med cat, I would like them to remain so! I would be very grateful to anyone for any help, please PM me and I will explain in more detail...
Many thanks
