Thanks all for the responses.
coljones, CASA won't even issue me a Class 2, apparently if you use medication to control depression you are "an unacceptable risk to the safety of air navigation"
But its OK to have plenty of overweight old drivers with dodgy tickers in the left hand seat of a Boeing / Airbus so long as they take their meds!!!
Nong / Soleair, I'm starting to see the confusion. If I believe I meet the driving standard (which I do as I drive) I effectively sign myself off medically speaking.
But if I have one of the listed conditions (which I do) I need a GP (confirm not DAME) to sign me off? Based on this why would anyone with a DL need a medical?
Or have I missed something here???
Phil, Sorry to hear about your PPL battle, I did my PPL at EGTR circa 1997, fond memories of drilling holes in the sky around Hertfordshire, Essex et al on a summers evening(s) after work.
Before I relocated out to the colonies of course.
