Afhelipilot,
Thankyou for your remarks. I am fortunate in being quite level headed and so a positive outlook is easy to maintain and it's fortunately not a panic situation.
I am fortunate to have passed the class 1 medical standards both intially and for several years after, so I am in the system.
Now it's just about evidencing why I should retain my medical and allowing those who are responsible for safe flight to make a fully informed decision. In reality there is no luck, just a thorough decision making process which I can only hope finds in my favour.
Thanks again,
VFR
