Hi,
sorry for the late reply.
Sip477, I’ve sent you an email through outlook. Feel free to reply there.
Eventually, I obtained my FAA class 1 a few weeks ago with no special issuance, just “must wear corrective lenses”. Very good. So weird I can get a FAA Class 1 but can’t get an EASA Class 3. (Lol)
anyways,
FlyKathrine If you want to fly under EASA regulations you
WILL NEED a valid EASA medical.
It is not possible to convert your FAA medical to EASA medical and visa versa. If you want to do that you will have to undergo the medical tests that apply to your country and desired class.
If you got your EASA class 1 denied I am afraid you won’t be able to perform ATPL duties in Europe. Did you really do your ATPL exams while not obtaining a class 1 medical?
also, if Italy denied your medical, most likely, every other EASA country will deny it too.
if your dream is to fly ATPL I would suggest you to look for other authorities, like FAA.
you can apply for Class 1 there, do flight training and perform a job there. However, if you take this route you will most likely have to move to the U.S.
I am currently exploring my options in the U.S. Regarding worn permits etc..
hopefully this answer was helpful to you!
kind regards
