Warning to all pilots !!!!

Postby Chapman » Tue Oct 23, 2012 10:29 am

Warning:
I went for my annual flight medical check today and noticed that CAA has, without consulting the flying community, developed new regulations regarding checking a pilot’s blood pressure.
This is outrageous and will have serious consequences for all pilots !

Be warned!





New procedure for testing blood pressure:

And you Okes only found this out now! vhpy
Bundy (!!) told me CAA asked him to be a giunea pig in secret and has been testing the process for some months now. His recommendation that both arms should be tested and an average taken apparently was rejected but I believe he has escalted the matter in the interests of pilot safety.
