Latest Update

I am still unable to fly as pilot-in-command due to my medical certificate being suspended following a procedure to insert two stents in my heart. Currently I'm gathering information to present to my aviation medical examiner to, hopefully, get the certificate re-instated, but it all moves so slowly!

On the flying side things have progressed well. I regained my currency in the Piper Arrow and went on to complete some re-training in order to take the flight test to regain my IRR(A) which enables me to fly IFR in the U.K. That test was passed at the end of April and I'm due to take training next week with a view to renewing my multi engine rating in the Diamond DA42 Twinstar.

It is possible that my medical certificate will not be renewed and I will not be able to fly as I have been used to for the last thirty years or so. So is all this effort and expense to regain my currency and ratings worth while?

I hope so, but only time will tell.
