hi all and thanks for the replies...

i've received my initial comments from the CAA from the time i took the EEG. i wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this?

"Your EEG has shown a pattern of electrical activity which indicates that you are at an increased risk of developing epilepsy in the future. I must emphasize that this is only an increased risk, it remains the case that your absolute risk is still very small, such that it is very likely that you will not have an epileptic fit in your entire life. In technical terms, you were noted to have spike and slow wave discharges following hyperventilation (over breathing), and under the Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR) this is incompatible with class one medical certification (statutory denial enclosed)..."

thanks again!
