Folks,
Firstly thanks for the continued interest and support.
As a brief update, my neurosurgeon is in the process of considering his report for the CAA. He is not an aviation specialist although he has done quite a bit of work with the DVLA over driving issues, so I can assume he is well versed in the issues of % chances of incapacitation and the risk management associated with neurological ailments.
I still have fingers and toes crossed, and I have to say I would even consider being restricted to being a cruise pilot at this time!!
BWBI,
Thanks for your PM. I have looked into the DVLA medical guidance which relates to NPPL and the guidance is more restrictive for brain tumours than for TIA's. As a result, I strongly suspect that any licence utilising DVLA class 1 or 2 medical standards will limit me to solo or flights with qualified pilots only.
Thanks for your help and congrats on your achievment.
Kind regards,
VFR
