Hi, I had a heart op in Feb 2005 ( Valentines Day - some wag at worked asked if they were finally giving me one ).
It turned out I had a funny artery that was getting crushed by other plumbing, fairly simple op, and I am now much fitter than before. As a consequence I had to declare myself unfit to fly on a UK CAA PPL. There is a UK National PPL which allows we to fly solo - but only within the boundaries of the UK. Seeing as the KR and my previous kite are only single person jobbies, that is fine, but I would like to get my full PPL back. So I contacted the UK CAA to find out what I have to do, and it's not too bad, I have to do a stress ECG - 9 mins on the walking machine, plus I have to provide angiograms etc, a thousand quid should cover the lot - its just about impossible to get it done via our "free" national health system. I would be interested to know what happens in USA. Pete Diffey St Albans, UK
