Correct answer: C — Advise specialist aviation medical assessment before flying duties are considered
Piloting is a highly regulated safety-critical occupation, and return to flying after myocardial infarction requires aviation medical standards rather than a generic fit note. Clinical recovery, ventricular function, arrhythmia risk and medication effects need specialist assessment. Ground-based duties may be considered separately if suitable. The OH advice should avoid exceeding competence or regulatory authority.
