re try for class one - anybody think I've got a chance now, with extra flying?
Don't know which forum to post this in, so put it in two, apologies for the replication.
I cannot get a class one medical due to a very unusual congenital problem, (took quite a while to get the class 2)
When class 2 was issued, CAA doctors informed me, (when I enquired about class one), to basically forget it.
Since then, I've got 300 fixed wing hours in logbook, an IMC, night rating, twin rating, plus a rotary PPL (80 rotary hours now, with self-fly-hire)
Does anybody have any idea as to whether all this flying will 'encourage' the CAA to look again at my case to be allowed a class one medical? (trying to 'prove' myself, so to speak).
Any thoughts anyone? thanx

Who knows!!
Would imagine that now you're in the 'system' so to speak they may be more flexible, perhaps issuing with restrictions.
The fact they told you to forget it is discouraging.
All I would say is go for it....as long as you won't miss the cash it must be worth a crack.
Only you know if it is a serious problem likely to preclude you.
All the best
