Gingernut,

Thanks for the advice and point taken, I was just trying to explain to those that did not know what type of medical event a TIA was and of course it is different to an actual stroke.

I am still unsure whether or not this incident has to be reported to the CAA as I was not hospitalised in any way. It was just the Doctor at the Practice ( not my normal flying Doctor who signs my NPPL medical ) who said just as I was leaving " Who do you have to report it to because I don't see many Pilots! "

I am not sure what he actually endorsed on my Medical Notes. I have searched the CAA and NPPL websites and so far I have been unable find any actual guidance for this type of medical incident.

I think I may make an appointment to see my normal flying Doctor next week but I don't want to make too much of this as I am quite prepared to go along with the two months flying with an Instructor as to my mind that is good sense and similar to what I did following the TIA 3 years ago although on that occasion I also did the Tredmill Test.

However it would useful to know the actual legal position before I speak to anyone and in fact if there was no legal need to report it I would not bother my Doctor further.
