Is there such a thing as a "restriction" on a Class 1 medical?
Have seen a number of job ads which specify "Class 1 medical with no restrictions".
Is there such a thing as a "restriction" on a Class 1?
Mine has a couple of "limitations" (such as VDL, and the far more limiting OML). I appreciate that in common parlance "limitation" and "restriction" might be considered to be synonymous, but this is aviation where words have a specific meaning (ever tried asking for a revalidation when what you need is a renewal?).
The only "restriction" listed on the CAA website is "RAI" ("Restricted to operations for Airbus Industries only")!
Yes, I know the answer is to contact the recruiter but unfortunately most of them won't respond to queries. I think I know what the answer is (which is that OML would be considered a "restriction" whereas a "VDL" wouldn't), but I doubt if I will ever find out as my applications will just disappear down a black hole and I won't hear back ........
