And I agree.

Now listen carefully, Sam-MAN...

No-one except the CAA wll be able to tell you if you can fly or not. The chances are that you can. But if you have ANY kind of abnormality, however small, the AME won't be able to issue the medical on the spot; it will have to go to the CAA. And then it could take several months before you get your medical.

So stop messing about and telling us that you don't really have anything wrong. Stop thinking about who else you can see, or what other tests you can have done. Phone your nearest flying school, or check on the CAA website, and find the name and address of your closest AME. Then pick up the phone and book a Class 2 medical. I don't know the cost for you young 'uns, but you can ask, and it will definitely be under £200. Don't say a word about this past history unless asked; you're just getting your medical to make sure you can before you start learning to fly.

OK? Got it? And that, young man, is an order!!!!!
