The before and afters of this case are curiously intriguing. The transcript although difficult to plough through makes fascinating reading.
Will they recall the CASA manger who swooned away under examination?
Will they determine just how a guy with a known medical problem beat the CASA medico's and was granted any form of license whatsoever?
There is a chap, just recently spent an arm and a leg to be allowed to fly with diabetes and his case was supported by empirical evidence from the FAA, who have allowed diabetic pilots to fly (with some restrictions) for years, hell of a scrap. There was a case lately in the press of a chappie who was not allowed to operate a fair ground ride because of his alleged "epilepsy".
It's passing strange that Hempel beats the system and is allowed to operate under a watchful 'blind eye'. I would like to know how and why this occurred, forget the circus afterwards for a while, that's a story for a rainy day.
Waiting, waiting.......
