I had my PPL withdrawn by the CAA following a heart attack this year. I was out for a walk and simply fell down, no chest pains or any other symptoms. After intervention by family & friends came around after 10 minutes to the sound of 'Staying Alive' Had I been flying it would have been the end of me and (no doubt) the dozens of terrified and screaming children in the school playground.
With various bits of stenting and assorted medication I am now back to normal but I recognise that the risk of another episode is greater than average. I would dearly love to get back in the air again but is this being somewhat selfish? Those kids are still in the playground. Giving it some thought I have decided to hang up the headset. The challenge now is to find something to replace aviation, nothing springs to mind at the moment but something will turn up. GA is a great pastime but it's not everything, I feel greatly privileged to have been able to fly - now time to move on.
