Maybe the FSDO Officer was having a bad day.
Medical requirements are in 61.23, not 61.75. If you have a 61.75 certificate you still have to satisfy the requirements of 61.23, if your CAA medical doesn't then your CAA medical isn't valid to fly in FAA jurisdiction. Just a thought, I have no idea what gcolyer's circumstances are, and no idea what happened when he turned up for his 61.75 PP-ASEL.
