PPL Wannabe needs info on medical
Hope someone can help me here. I hope to go to Oz from the UK and get some flying lessons under my belt towards a PPL. Do I need to have a medical before I am allowed to have any lessons and does it matter if its done in the UK or in Oz? Also, assuming there is a medical how stringent is it? Do I need to go mountaineering in my spare time to pass it? And just as important, how much does an actual medical cost?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers everyone.
