Well, maybe I was not clear enough.
My dream is to go ATP one day. This requires a class 1 medical.
EASA Class 1 is not possible for me due to:
- monocular vision (Exotropia, Amblyopia)
- Refractive error of -6D ( max -2 is allowed.)
In FAA these 2 conditions are not blocking for a Class 1. So I went ahead and went for an FAA Medical.
I am not sure if those 2 conditions are disqualifying for an EASA class 2. (If anyone knows, feel free to tell me, EASA PPL might be achievable then).
If EASA PPL is achievable I can build hours, and experience,.. in EASA and switch to FAA once I go for CPL,...
I never went for an initial EASA medical because the ophthalmologist said I won't make it because I have monocular vision. Maybe I should try and let's see what happens...
Anyways, FAA knows everything they need to know. So Class 1 is valid.
Anyways, sorry for going off-topic, wanted to clear this out,
Regarding the N-Reg planes. I have the impression that there is no such clear rule written out for this question which is very odd to me.
