Loss of Licence Insurance

Loss of medical insurance? Right forum?

Hi all. Just a quickie. My eyesight is just within the initial limits for proffesional medical (class 1 or 2, i can never remember) but it has been changing every 2 years for the last 8. I am 22, and apparently eyesight starts to stabilise around mid twenties. So far, for the last year and a hlaf, there has been no change. However, I am worried that a small change in future could scupper my plans at pro flying.

Someone mentioned to me loss of medical insurance, is there such a thing? And would it cover me if i shelled out 100k on an integrated flying course only for my eyesight to worsen?

Anyone who knows anything about htis, or has any advice, I would be grateful to hear from you.

Thanks all.

Once you got your initial class 1 medical, you will find that the requirements for renewals are less stringent. Check JAR-FCL 3 for the requirements for both initial and renewal standards.

Yes, there are loss of (medical) licence insurances. Just do a search and you should find more information.

Several companies, but the best is Haywards Aviation of London. Not cheap, but essential and massive peace of mind. I've claimed recently with no probs whatsoever. They do what they say on the tin.

Dear friend... juz cheking on ya, how u doing now?

Hi,

I'm not a doctor, but have you tried hoppi ear candles? They can help sook goo out of your ears by vaccum and is a gentle non invasive way to do it. I know people who have had their ears syringed that now use this instead.

Might be worth trying?

Hope you find a solution soon.

"I don't want to try grommets or anything as it can damage your hearing"

Whatever gave you that idea? I presume that they woulld be inserted by an ENT specialist rather than one of the neighbors.

But untreated chronic secretory otitis media (CSOM) certainly will!



PS: Have you tried the Otovent system?

how hard is it to lose your medical?

Hello all!
I know that this question might have been answered in other threads but i couldnt find a similar thread.
How hard is it to lose your medical class 1?
How can you lose it?
What do they test you at the medical class 1 examination?
thanks

Get up, prepare for going to work, fall down the stairs and break your leg seriously.

Medical gone

Duh . . . . . . . !

How can you lose it?

By changing status from being "FIT TO FLY" to "UNFIT TO FLY".
Thousands of different ways to do that.
Ask specific questions, and answers will be forthcoming.

All requirements/tests for the Class I are on the CAA's website - have a dig around.

Very easy for some - Healthy lifestyle and all

Very difficult for others - Drink like a fish, smoke like a chimney, obese

life ain't fair . . . . . . . . !

drink like a fish, smoke like a chimney, obese

These attributes can be found in abundance, regrettably even in the class 1 holding population !

Is this true?
I guess if you have a healthy lifestyle and dont have an accident,everything will be ok...

[AMEandPPL]

Duh, duh . . . . . . . . ! !

Is this true?

Yes, surprise surprise, if you "seriously break your leg" then you are deemed to be unfit to fly an aeroplane !

The good news is that a broken leg will eventually heal . . . . . . hence the origin of the phrase : "TEMPORARILY UNFIT" - which means exactly what it says.

Blood pressure is a common cause. I nearly failed exactly 12 months ago as my BP was about 158, just under the 160 limit. For me though, I know this is not a true reflection of my normal BP and I was able to show the doc regular records of my BP which is normally around 135 !

CG !

P.S. Just let my Class 1 lapse to Class 2 priviledges as I am not flying commercially !! Not suer I can be bothered to renew iot any time soon !!
