• Pilots who have had a myocardial infarction (MI) should seek advice from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) about their licence to fly. • The CAA will ground a pilot for 6 months after an MI (or coronary artery surgery, angioplasty, stenting). • Before re-instating a pilot’s licence, the Aeromedical Section of the CAA requires review by an approved cardiologist to ensure that the person is fit to fly.
