Has anyone else been struggling to arrange a class 1 medical appointment that covers both EASA and CAA initial class 1?
Heathrow don't do initial C1 EASA medicals, only CAA. Gatwick/Birmingham see to offer joint appointments but you can only apply for one via email, and they don't seem to respond! lol
I had my EASA/CAA Class 1 at Birmingham back in November. I booked it in July and it was one of two appointments available on their website for all of last year. I found them pretty responsive for followup emails, but can imagine given it is so hard to get an initial booked, they probably get a lot of requests.
Might be easier to get a CAA Class one intial over here, then an EASA somewhere like Poland where it is a lot cheaper, or even over to Dublin. If you can pass one you can pass the other!
