A friend has just lost his Class 2 medical through the new equipment. His AME confirms it is no different to the traces he has had over a number of years. The cardiologist is not unduly concerned with the trace.
The CAA called him for a checkup and although, again, he was cleared by the doctors, the CAA has refused to reissue the medical. He can pay a large amount of money for the full-blown medical, but has little faith in the CAA
However, and this is what I find odd, he has been issued with an NPPL on the basis of the medical evidence.
So he can still fly the same aircraft type as he always has done, but is not able to fly abroad, at night or on instruments. Consequently he has sold his aircraft and is close to giving up recreational flying.
