Ankle surgery

Post by pitottubey »

Getting surgery to have ankle ligament reattached. Ankle is fine day to day, just cant do intense sports or activity like hockey or squash, my two favorite sports. Surgeon says 6 week recovery before i can fly. Do I need to report to TC? I'm hearing horror stories of TC taking several months to get back to a pilot to clear them after a concussion, so id rather not involve them as i literally can't afford that. Any tips? Thanks all!

I wouldn't give it too much concern, but ask your CAME for guidance first if you're inclined.
