Medicals for private license or higher licenses are the same in most of
the world. that adheres to international aviation standards of the
International Civil Aviation Organization. Yes you lose your license for
1 year after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) After that it
depends on the risk of further complications. Further cardiac tests are
required to evaluate the risk after one year. Often a cardiologists
opinion is useful or required. Final decision lies with the feds.
Finally an appeal is allowed. These are international standards. As a
past Canadian Medical Examiner for 20 yrs I could do a qualifying exam
for anyone in any country adhering to these standards of the IACO.
Therefore your local MD with appointment to be a Examiner never has
final say. No need to look for a nice examiner. Safety not killing
yourself and others is the issue. Lower licenses, ultralight, sport,
recreational permits all have individual standards in different
countries in the IACO.. Some only require drivers license. Hope this is
helpful.
