Firstly, I know I keep saying this but the support from everyone has been great, thanks to you all.
Right, last Friday. Well she said that there was definitely something there. She said that she would contact a specialist to see what they thought. I must say that she conducted a very thorough exam. Again, the problem was only when I keep my head facing forward and look up right and I mean as up and as right as possible.
I had a call from her today and she said that there was nothing the specialist could do and suggested the best course would be to appeal and see the CAA specialist. I did ask if there was any supporting documentation she or the specialist could give me, there was but her thoughts were that the CAA would trust the judgement of their own specialists. So I am going to send off my appeal this week.
In the meantime I have been looking at alternatives. As I said before I ruled out FAA due to me needing a green card. I may be persuded otherwise, someone PM'd me who had taken that route, I am waiting to hear back. The same goes for the Australian route.
I have called AME's in the UK who specialise in South African, Australian and Canadian medicals. The jury is still out about Canada, I took the optician the Canadian Visual requirements and she said they were tighter (on some parts) than the CAA. v6g, I have read your post so I will follow this up again. I am waiting to hear back on the SA requirements and the best part was that the Australian AME said I should have no problem at all
I have emailed and called a few flight schools to see what they say but have yet to hear from them, in the meantime, this does bring new questions. What about visa's? What license would I have, ICAO I guess? Where could I work etc.
My plan (before the class 1 fiasco) was to go modular and keep working to bring in the cash. In my ideal world, should I fail my appeal, I was wondering if I could do the same. It was mentioned to me that I may be able to do everything here apart from the medical and the CPL which I would do in my chosen country. So there you go.
Any thoughts on the above especially the overseas options are most welcome. I'll let you know how the appeal goes.
Cheers.
