Just had my medical at ST aeromedical centre, going to see the specialists (eye,ear,nose,throat) tommorrow at Mt.Eliz. Thereafter it would be another few weeks before i know my results. Approval subject to the CAAS medical board but Dr Rajib, the AME, did say that for people with a clean bill of health, he would be able to tell you if you would pass immediately.

I applied for the FAA and the CAAS medicals cos i quoted someone wrongly. Now i am just wondering if i were to be rejected by CAAS yet accepted by the FAA, wonder if i should try going to the US to learn flying instead. Apparently, the AME told me that quite a few pilot wannabes applied for the FAA medical so that they can go to the US to learn to fly.

Anyway i bypassed the interview stage and went straight to the medicals because my eye condition was my biggest concern. Just a lil update on me for those that gave me advice. Thx and safe landing everyone!
