1st Class Medical Certificate
Looking for some advice or assistance. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else.
I was born with one kidney. The other one didn't develop in the womb. This has never been a problem and as I child went for regular checkups at Great Ormand Street Hospital. I was signed off GOSH when I was 11 years old, having never had any problems. I have been accepted into flight training college to become a pilot starting in November this year. I was sent for a Class 1 medical examination which I have failed only on account of being born with one kidney. I have never had any related illness or problems with having one completely functioning kidney. I cannot see anything in the CAA Genitourinary guidance material which would cause an automatic refusal of a medical licence for a Class 1 application based on being born with one completely functioning kidney.
I would appreciate any guidance or if anyone knows of this happening to anyone else.
