Medical and 61.75 PPL
After a few hours researching the FAR's with no clear answer, was wondering if anyone came across this question:
I have a Part 61.75 FAA PPL
FAA medical
JAR medical
If I succeed in getting an FAA IR added will I have to maintain both medicals if Flying N-Reg IFR?

You need your JAR/EASA medical to be current when a licence verification is taking place. E.g. when you apply for or upgrade an FAA certificate based upon a foreign licence.
To maintain the privileges of a Part 61.75 licence either an FAA medical or a medical for the 'based upon' licence will suffice.

FAR 61.75 requires your foreign licence to be valid, and EASA Part-FCL and Part-Med state that an EASA licence is only valid with a current medical certificate. Some people disagree with this, but Part-FCL is unambiguous in this respect. So some people will say you need an EASA medical, and some say you don't..

Thanks, the EASA medical is not an issue. I just don't want to pay an extra 200£ for an FAA medical every 2 years.
So to be clear an EASA medical is sufficient to exercise the privilege of an FAA IR (Test Passed) add-on to my part 61.75 PPL.
