I'll be bringing expert witnesses myself. I have a very emminent cardiologist on the medical side but if there's any one else out there who can point me at further supportive medical opinion or the way aviation law is interpreted in other ICAO states I'd be most grateful.
We all know, for example, that the CAA has different rules to the FAA regarding the operation of non-scheduled aircraft (clearly the category most of us work in) yet claims to seek a level playing field on the age issue. Anyone who has a good knowledge of the way other nations treat our type of commercial operation and aerial work would be most helpful.
Incidentally, I note the ICAO ruling makes specific mention of "International Operations". That I am seeking to fly within the UK may strengthen our case.
