Laser Eye surgery & Class 1 medical (ATC)
I'm hoping someone can clear up a query for me so that I can decide whether or not to go ahead with LASIK eye surgery.
The CAA will accept laser surgery on a Class 1 medical, provided they meet certain criteria (which I do).
The question is, if I apply to NATS, will laser eye surgery be accepted with them?
Originally, I thought that gaining a Class 1 certificate would enable me to apply to NATS or work towards a career as an airline pilot but eher does seem to be some confusion.
Can someone please clear this up?
Are there 2 different types of Class 1 medical (JAR and CAA)?
If so, are they the same as far as eyesight/surgery is concerned?
Thanks.
