-beginning of this year couldn’t hold it anymore, need to fly!
-went to civil authority to enquiry about possibility of class1 medical certificate.
-was recommended to be operated by the doctor on civil avition authority.
-had open chest surgery 8 months ago, got biological valve implanted, recovery done successfully.
-had all tests done as required by easa (ecg, eco doppler, holter and treadmill stress test) all good with doctors reports.
-go to AME did all tests all ok, got refered to civil aviation authority due to special case. Informed OML to be issued on class med 1.

Hi Vernand,
I have pasted 2 links for you the first is a PDF memo by the Chief Medical Officer of the
CAA regarding OML on initial class 1.

The second is a link to the CAA regarding the OML on initial.
I would suggest you contact the AME regarding what you have been told and
show these.

these are easily got on google, regard's.

Thank you very much. Going to the civil Aviation Authority today to apply some torque on the subject.
