I'm probably being slow so bear with me.
Are FAA PPLs required to undergo and pass a JAA medical in order to fly in UK airspace?
I can see they'd have to if they wanted a CAA licence as well, or wanted to covert from FAA to CAA. And, if they failed the medical, I can understand how the CAA might react.
Unless things have changed under JAR, PPLs in the UK don't need a Class 1 medical, only a Class 2. So if someone (for example) can get through an FAA Class 1, but only a CAA Class 2, they can still fly as a PPL?
If someone can't get through a CAA Class 2, then it's terrible for that person and I'm not being unsympathetic to you - far from it - but it's difficult to say the CAA's being unreasonable.
If a PPL can pass the required FAA medical standard but not the CAA's, I can see the argument that the CAA standard for private flying might be too high, but that's a different point.
Is that what you mean?
