Dear Brother Ian (I'm 59 so thought 'Uncle' was inappropriate)
Well done and I hope that the CAA concur. You have my pledge for £100.
At my ACM last week my AME suggested that, if necessary, some extra tests one of which involves a treadmill could be done for 60+. If successful, it would give the chance of a cardio-vascular episode at .6% which is rather less than average for the next lower age group.
I wish to continue flying HEMS if at all possible and plan to continue instructing anyway. As has been said many times already, we should be allowed to work providing that we are fit & competent beyond a limit that in this day & age is somewhat arbitrary.
Good Luck
