Is it conceivable for someone to hold a class 1 without having conducted any flying training, to then 12 months later have a restriction applied to their medical, to then begin pilot training and gain successful employment as a pilot?
I don't understand why the authority are unable to issue an initial class 1 with a restriction.
I would love to know how that risk is actually calculated statistically, in fact I would love someone to legally challenge it.
Me too. Fatigue offers more risk to day-to-day operations than a pilot with HIV, but the CAA don't seem to care too much about that problem.
