Renewal of Medical Certificate
It would seem that CASA do not trust the DAME's to conduct aviation medicals. In my case I was honest, some may say silly, enough to be honest when questioned about visits to hospital. I had the treatment recommended by the Urologist in whose care I have been for years. All subsequent tests have shown I no longer have any issue. The DAME, my regular GP, the Urologist and the treating Specialist all advise me they can see no reason my Medical Certificate (Class 2) should not be renewed.
CASA insist on having reports from an Oncologist before reviewing their decision. For me it is not worth the cost involved to take the chance that CASA may relent. It is a case of CASA owns the ball.....!
