Okay so far the reponses seems to be on the same line however can someone explain this document from the CAA site. It gives similar guidelines for driving and seems to give the impression that there is hope!

I think my best move is too contact the CAA for clarification.

I know that for people reading this the notion of a pilot with Epilepsy may seem absurd but its a condition that when treated correctly will hopefully never bother me again. I am able to drive again and lets face it if you take the amount of time I spend in a car compared to what you could as a pilot I suspect I pose a far greater risk in the car.

Its been over a year since I have had a problem and I dont really care if I have to wait another ten years, at some point I want to fulfill my ambition to get my PPL!
