Regrettably, I am ineligible for an EASA class 2 medical certificate due to a deficiency in my depth perception.
My aspiration is to pursue a career in commercial aviation, a path currently only viable through the FAA as I possess a valid Class 1 medical certificate.
As a European Union citizen, the complexities of flying commercially within the United States arise primarily from visa-related constraints, I believe.
My intention is to attain an FAA Private Pilot License (PPL) and subsequently convert it to an EASA Light Aircraft Pilot License (LAPL). This approach would allow me to preserve the option of engaging in commercial flight while still enjoying recreational flying in Europe. Simultaneously, I can work towards understanding the process of attaining commercial flying privileges in the U.S. as a European citizen.
