CAA responds with some hoops to jump through

Hi again, well I've had the response from the CAA head of the aeromedical department and here is how the land lies.

Due to the seizures I had happened after the age of 5, this is a disqualifying criteria, However!! As I have been med and seizure free for 13 years and was never formally diagnosed as epileptic I have been given some hoops to jump through which will give me a "small" chance of being considered certificable.

Firstly, get and EEG done and get a report from a consultant neurologist.

Secondly, get an MRI done and get a report from a consultant radioneurologist.

If both of these fall within the normal distribution for the national average it's, chocks away, clear prop and clear me to alpha!! Haha

Hope this helps.
