what should solve this disease

If the valve can be repaired by surgery using non artificial parts, you'll get your class 1 back. My old (and he'll hate being called that) had a class 1, lost it due his ticker (heart valve problem), had the surgery and his ticker was not only found, but repaired. He got his class 1 medical back.

If your condition can be repaired, then there's no reason why you shouldn't get a class 1.

You'll have to get specialist medical advice on this one.

Are leaky valves the flavour of the month?

Redsnail,

your old what? Old mate? Old man? Old shag?



Blue Falcon, please see the thread about bicuspid aortic valves - You need not worry about it. I flew for 12 years with a Class 1 medical and I declared my (slightly) leaky valve at every renewal. Australia's CASA were not worried then and are not worried now, although because I am getting old (nearly as old as Reddo) they make me see a cardiologist every year.

YOU MUST SEE A SPECIALIST AND MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE, as there are some tricks and traps if you don't know what to watch for.

Best of luck with your career and PM me for more info if I can help.
