EASA Changes regarding post LASIK 3 month grounding
I was looking through the latest EASA Notice of Proposed Amendments June 2008, so kind of recent ish.
It looks as though the requirement to be grounded for 3 months after having LASIK has been removed from the text. If anyone has an old copy of the EASA rules dated before June 2008, maybe you could compare the text to confirm it was there before and that now it has been removed?
I also understand that the UK CAA may well be adopting the EASA proposals sooner, be it eye sight related or whatever EASA changes are in the pipeline. It would be very handy if the 3 month grounding post LASIK was to be dropped as the FAA and every other Aviation Authority have done, as loosing your medical for 3 months is a problem for those who are in current employment.
It looks like its gone from the EASA Rules anyway. Does anyone know for sure what the UK CAA are thinking of doing with regards to the 3 month? I cant get through to them to ask as they never pick up the phone!
