Anyone here flying under a Recreational Pilot Permit with a Class 4 medical? I am considering "downgrading" to this standard, but I won't bother if it there is no significant difference in the standard applied with regard to cardiovascular fitness. 5 years ago I had a mitral valve failure and received a mechanical valve. Got my medical back in 7 months and have maintained it since, but not with a huge margin above what TC considers minimums that it is comfortable with. Just got a pacemaker implanted yesterday; I know the pacemaker on its own is not a huge concern for TC (can reapply to resume flying status in 90 days), but I am concerned about the cumulative effect of my existing issues plus the pacer on keeping my medical long term.
Any experience that fellow Canadians have to share would be appreciated. Can't wait to call Transport on Monday to tell them about my latest "upgrade". Sigh.
