FAA medical validity in the UK?
Hi folks.
Just been flying a few hours in the states and picked up a night qualification whilst there. I had to get an FAA student medical (class 3) to allow the instructor to sign me off to do solo. Just by the way, thinking about it, it seems a bit odd that I should need an FAA medical to do a JAA qualification - any comments...?
My JAA class 2 is due to expire in July but I'm wondering if the recent FAA ticket is considered as valid over here for the next couple of years....I'm intending to go and try for a class 1 at next medical time but I'd prefer to put it off until much later in the year if possible...
I'm sure the answer must exist on the CAA website - am I the only one who finds it extremely difficult to find what I'm looking for on there?!
Any wadvice appreciated.
Cheers
