Has anyone managed to get a CPL with a "Class 1 Medical limited to an OML"??

[Scoobster]

Folks,

I am a current PPL student and have been hitting a snag with the CAA for a Class 1 Medical for a short while due to a Visual Problem.

In essence, under EASA, the UK CAA have stated that the maximum medical I will get is a "Class 1 with an OML" and that training options will be limited - however they are in no position to discuss this as the remit of SRG is to focus on Flight Safety and I must take up training with the FTO.

I would like to know how much of a detriment the OML has on achieving a CPL - as it almost certainly rules out Instructing as an FI, Aerial Work, Flight Taxi etc.

Also, if anyone currently training has managed to obtain a CPL and sit the skills test with a CPL limited to OML, I would be very interested to hear from them.

I am currently reading through CAP 804 to see what the rules around the OML are but this will take a short while.

Thanks.
