SSD,

As I read Slim Slags post I didn't detect that he was being critical of the nppl's lower medical stance, but instead agreed with it and the US approach to the medical. Maybe I read wrong.

This medical seems to be the biggest bugbear. I don't agree with all the nppl particularly, but the medical issue is a strong one. It appears to be a Europe issue throughout all levels of aviation - US commercial pilots fly overhead every day with lower medical standards to us, so why aren’t they considered unsafe?
