Hi All!
Just wanted to provide you with the final chapter of my saga with CASA:
I was asked by CASA to undertake an operational check to determine my ability to read instruments, line up on a runway and judge flare.
This accomplished I provided the report to CASA who have now issued me with a Class 2 Medical. The conditions are that the medical has to be renewed every two years (from the date of my medical which is now 3 months ago and 28 days before the renewal date which means it's basically only valid for 20 months).
It is predictably not valid for ag flying, choppers and specifies I don't meet ICAO Chapter 6. I'm also on audit.
I am really happy I have my Class 2 Medical but it is soured somewhat by the onerous conditions and the 3 months it took to get it. Do you think I should appeal these conditions now or wait until my renewal? With the upcoming changes to the medical system I think I'd be better off waiting to see what the new system looks like.
Cheers!
