Have you got your license back?
|
Negative, Jan. Well ... I didn't lose it either. After my cardiac arrest of July, I lost my driving license for one year and after notifying the Norwegian Aviation Authorities, I grounded myself for one year.
Since I am over 50 years old and, according to the Norwegian Ultralight rule, I need a medical certificate each year. My cardiac incident happened only three weeks after that medical check.
I decided then to talk to my doctor who said that if I regain my driving license next year, she would have no objection to let me fly again. The problem is: I checked the Norwegian law and there is no difference for PPL or ultralight: Heart attack = no license.
The think is: we all know that some pilots still fly after a cardiac problem. The thing to do is: to find "doctor Nice." But I refuse to do that. My GP knows me for years and I will work to make her understand that if I can drive a car, I am certainly not more a danger for society if I fly my Kitfox.
I have now an appointment for the cardiologist the 10th of June, then an appointment with my GP for the 18th of June. That day, at about 09:00, I will know if I can open a bottle of Champagne! 
Cheers,

I'll buy a bottle a few days before the 18th of June....let me know
if I should open it. : ) (I probably will anyway, but it would
be good to have a GOOD reason)

I know one commercial helicopter pilot who flew for years after bypass
surgery.

The only reason I need to open a bottle of Champaign is the same as to fly
the plane.... it's there!
