Ok. lets ask glycoler. When you applied for your FAA part 61.75 certificate...
What class of CAA/JAA medical certificate did you hold?
How old were you when you obtained that certificate?
How many calender month had passed since you obtained that certificate?
Did the require you to have an FAA medical, or did they give you the option of obtaining an FAA medical certificate if you couldn't easily obtain a new JAA certificate.
