And not forgetting that the JAR class 2 medical EXCEEDS ICAO standards by the CAA's own admission. Seems hardly fair if someone were to fail on an item that would not be a fail according to ICAO standards....but I don't know the facts and anyway, we've done this one before...
I'm wondering whether its worth me keeping my JAA PPL going, and the implications it'd have IF I were to ever fail a medical (not thats its likely, but you never know). At least if you don't fail a medical exam, you can't be grounded on medical grounds?
It would be very hard for the CAA to not recognize FAA licences, I suppose in theory they could say that they don't recognize FAA PPL's, but they couldn't possibly fail to recognize an FAA CPL, or else the implications would be far greater, and would bring with it a world of cr*p......
