Mods - hope you don't mind but I've put this message on two threads, both of which are relevant.
I've been in contact with AOPA regarding the proposed LAPL and received the following reply which I have their permision to quote:
I have been in contact with Dr Ian Perry, the AOPA/IAOPA medical representative at EASA, and he has been fully briefed regarding the importance ot UK NPPL holders being able to continue under EASA with a similar medical for the LAPL. as we have currently for the NPPL.
We will keep our members informed via the magazine when we have any final proposals regarding this matter.
Currently, EASA is proposing a medical with your GP for the LAPL, but the GP concerned is required to have some additional experience or qualification to cover him/her to undertake these medicals.
Ian Perry is currently at EASA at a meeting with the Medical Department and working on the subject of the LAPL medical for us.
