Medicals
As I don't have annex 1 of the Chicago convention I am a little hampered regardng the medical. It does seem illogical if I can fly an N-reg aircraft on a class 3 FAA medical but not the same aircraft with a G on the tail. Could that be the result of the UK moving PPL's onto class 2 some years ago ?
The Lasors / ANO stuff seems pretty straightforward.
I see that I can validate my FAA licence for use in France by supplying some paperwork and waiting a month which would seem to indicate that a class 3 is also no problem there, but that does not solve the problem. Currently awaiting a response from the French Civil Aviation Directorate via the website.
