... but given there is little statistical evidence that the current Class2 medical is any use in identifying likely pilot incapacitation in advance, it would seem that access to your own medical notes by your own GP is better.
Sure, if there was a doubt, the GP should refer onwards, but for me, the £150 per year checkup - with the exception of the ECG - is no better than the £50 or so one-over by my GP, and that is not an annual one either.
In my view, unless there is a need for a higher standard of medical (ie for commercial flying, IR, instruction) then the self-certification route is the way to go for all of us.
Of course it won't happen. Too many vested interests
