Here are the €uro-proposals:
MED.B.090 Medical examination of applicants for LPL medical certificates
(a) An applicant for a LAPL medical certificate shall be assessed based on aeromedical best practice.
(b) Special attention shall be given to the applicant’s complete medical history.
(c) The aero-medical examination shall include at least the following:
(1) clinical examination;
(2) blood pressure;
(3) urine test;
(4) vision;
(5) hearing ability.
(d) Notwithstanding (c), after the first issue of a LAPL medical certificate the aeromedical examinations until the age of 50 can be reduced with due regard to the evaluation of the applicant’s medical history.
MED.D.001 Requirements for general medical practitioners
(a) GMPs shall act as AMEs for issuing LAPL medical certificates only if exercising their activity in a Member State where the GMP has appropriate access to the full medical records of pilots.
(b) In order to issue LAPL medical certificates, general medical practitioners (GMP) shall be fully qualified and licensed for the practice of medicine in accordance with applicable national rules, and
(1) have completed postgraduate training in general medical practice; and
(2) have acquired knowledge in aviation medicine; or
(3) hold, or have held a pilot’s licence for any kind of aircraft.
(c) GMPs acting as AMEs shall declare their activity to the competent authority.
You will note that, after age 50,
every medical revalidation will include all 5 listed items
including a 'clinical examination'. Your own GP may not meet the criteria of MED.D.001, so you would need either to change your GP or visit an AME....
The CAA doesn't agree with this as they consider the NPPL Medical Declaration to be entirely sufficient and they have considerable evidence to back this up. Various €uropean aero-quacks don't agree with the proposals as they wish to protect their comfy income stream....
Best solution? Throw the unnecessary and pointless LAPL into the junk pile and devolve all sub-ICAO pilot licensing from EASA to national authorites.
