Angioplasty with JAR Medicals

Hi Guys

You are correct White Knight, the JAA/UK CAA does have a mandatory 6 month suspension of your medical but then you have to do exercise stress, echocardiogram and myocardial perfusion tests plus some other bits and pieces. The catch is that you will not be granted an unrestricted class 1 medical, it will have a multi crew limitation on the ticket. If it's just a class 2 for PPL you will get the whole lot back. I'm in the same situation regarding stents, but you can appeal to the medical board but I don't know if anyone has been successful or not. Makes it really hard to fly for a living again.
