Just wanted to back up grounded1: Make absolutely sure what the CAA requirements are and get your consultants to document that you comply with these requirements before you take it up with the CAA. The requirements will be in the JAR’s – if clarification is required, ask the CAA through a cut out (a lawyer if necessary) for their opinion and get it in writing. Make sure the consultants use the language from the JAR’s. I know somebody who had a stroke, got their medical back, but the process was delayed because of the way it was written. Once it was re-written, it was no problem. Took a while though.
Do not solicit the CAA’s (and their doctors’
opinion – they are a regulator, not a consultancy. Our job is therefore to comply with their regulations, nothing more. Make sure you fit in all their boxes and then go and do your medical.
Good luck.
