I am now in my 80th year and the NZCAA have found a reason to suspend my licence about once every 5 years for a hypertrophy of the Left Ventricle.
I rode a bicycle competitively in my teen years hence the enlarged bit.
I have had no remarkable events during my life time, and still participate in the consumption of the golden nectar, and still physically active.(read that any way you like)
The British CAA have a far better view of medicals than the NZ lot.
So don't come out here if you wish to continue with aviation.
