Hi Ruffino..
The initial Doc failed me with the colour lantern test due to my mild CVD. I went to try another test somewhere else (JAA) because I am already a Pilot with an FAA CPL and an FAA 1st class unrestricted since 1990, so I thought that I should give it another try somewhere else.. Besides, I was never happy on how they managed my case (I felt discriminated!! - like if a had a contagious disease!!).. Why the **** I cannot fly in my country or in any other EU-JAA state?.. Yes, I am CVD, so? What are the lanterns for? I am already flying.. Isn´t it silly that I can come to every EU-JAA state with an FAA resgistered B747?? Who is that Doc to tell me that I can not fly anymore??
Fortunately the JAA rules gives some choices about acceptable colour lanterns types (it says that you can pass "ONE" of the lanterns and you can be considered "safe" (shopping around?? or fair options-chances?).. Does JAR´s says that if you have a medical denied you can never ever try again or that you can not go to other JAA country??
Due to all mentioned above and similar cases posted here in PPRUNE (thanks guys!!) I decided to try somewhere else and I finally end up passing the test with "flying colours"!!. Why the ***^ they (my country) are not accepting-recognicing my new unrestricted JAA 1st Class Medical Certificate?? it is all JAA and I can use it all over the EU, around my country too
!!
!!?¿? Are they upset because I finally got it?
All they are holding to is that I didn´t mention in my new initial medical application form that I had a denial before, that´s what I call b*****t..
Like I posted here before, I´ve talked personally to my new Doc and he told me that he knew that I had a CVD problem (I told him when I did my appointment) and that I shouldn´t worry about ticking yes or no in the ******* box, he told me that he treated me as a new candidate with a CVD problem, that´s what I call fair, impartial!!.. And just in case, I also gave him a written letter requesting ammendment of my "ticking" mistake because I know that they (my country) will try to take the medical off me for sure. The "ticking" it is only an excuse as any other that they will look for..
Regards..
