Mike,thanks for that link,I have so much stuff saved now I could write a book!
Nick,I am in the same spot as you,have very recently had my JAR PPL suspended for three months due to a pacemaker istallation, but I have spoken to the CAA and NPPL medical staff and intend to go along the NPPL route in a few weeks time.
I could resume my JAR PPL but it will involve costly medical examinations on a regular basis.
I could go for the lower car driver limited NPPL now which allows me as single pilot or with another pilot,but want to wait for the HGV certified one, where I can fly with up to three passengers.
I have a full hospital check up in two weeks and all being well my GP ,whom I have already talked to,should sign my declaration after that,ie six weeks after the operation.
If you are at all confused talk to the NPPL staff,they were very helpful.
Good luck
Lister
