Location for class 1 medical
I am at the stage of nearly completing my ppl and my a levels. I am considering flight school however, a class 1 is needed. The opticions and my class 2 medical picked up on a slight colour defect with my eyes, resulting in a restricted ppl. My 1st question is can i have a class 1 standard eye check to save me the money of a whole class 1 just incase i fail the eye test then i only have to pay for the class 1 eye test or do i have to pay for the entire medical? and secondly, i am so desperate to become a pilot. Can i take the class 1 medical outside the UK where i believe things are not as strict? If so, say i passed the medical in another country, would this be approved by the CAA?
I would be greatful for some advice on my issue
