Hi Irishpilot,

So you are saying that you had a Czech Class 1 medical which the IAA accepted (for additional fee) to convert too Irish equivalent?

I have already been in contact with Dr. Roodenburg, she has made it perfectly clear that I would need to resit the entire Irish medical i.e. they will not accept my UK class medical at all.

Interestingly I contacted the CAA with the same request, and they said that I CAN convert my UK medical to Irish, all they need is a request for from the IAA for the medical results and data (for a fee).

The whole thing is confusing me, it should be a simple process. Being Irish myself (living in Scotland), it is embarrassing that the UK & Europe will accept Irish medicals, but not the other way around. To me, that's unfair and just plain mean.

Or am I being unfair?

Del.
