floatingfeather,
Hi. My case is very near identical to yours. Happy you passed in the end. I did my test in Dublin last year & got a reading of 68.8% for the Spirometry, and between 600 & 640 for the Peak Flow. I passed everything else. However I am smaller at 5Ft 9". My retest is on next month.
Same as you I am training 4 times a week & on Symbicort Turbohaler.
Did you find this inhaler helpful to you? I will have 4weeks on this inhaler before my test.
I am quite close so all I need is to push it up that few percent. I am being told that it is very hard get the FEV1 up once you are below. I was quite unfit at time I tested, & I was smoking which I have totally cut out. But you came up 10% which is a big improvement. Just hope I have the same improvement.
Is it true that you only have to pass this Spirometry test once in your flying career? And also that the Peak Flow is tested every 5 years thereafter?
Does anybody know if your weight makes a difference to your Expected result? What i mean is if you are heavier do you have a lower expected FEV1 result compared to a person that is lighter for his/her height?
Thanks
