Angina and Class 2 Medical.

Forgive me if this is an obvious question, but would a diagnosis of angina preclude someone from renewing their Class 2 Medical?

Interesting question but no replies to date. I would suggest you repost this in the Private Flying forum to see if that will generate some relevant comment.

Isn't there a list of disqualifying conditions on the CAA medical site ? I know when I had concerns about my LVEF the answers were there.

You might be better placed asking this question in the Medical and Health forum.

There are a number of knowledgable contributors who lurk there.

As far as UK-specific questions such as this are concerned, this IS the appropriate forum.

Yes the medical section may have got a faster response

I am not an AME but I suspect your AME will not renew a Class 2 without a considerable amount of information. If you have seen a cardiologist ask them for your complete notes including all blood tests, electrical tests, and interventions and letters. If you have only seen a GP it would be sensible to discuss with your AME before spending money on the medical that he isnt going to approve. Stable angina only with exercise and rapidly terminated with nitrates together with documented minimal coronary artery pathology and normal blood pressure are some of the factors I would be looking at in terms of risk of incapacitation. The CAA website suggests a Class 2 is feasible with a satisfactory cardiology assessment.

As always please let us know how you get on and good luck

A couple of years ago the ECG at my medical showed 'an anomaly', which could have been Wolfe-Parkinson-White syndrome. I wasn't reassured when the AMA told me NOT to look it up on Google!
Until I could get an appointment with a cardiologist, whilst I could fly, I was not allowed to fly solo. After a series of tests, which I had to have done privately, the cardiologist convinced the CAA I didn't have said syndrome, and my class 2 was restored.

Whilst I hope you can get the CAA to clear you, be prepared for them to be ultra cautious.

good luck!
