EASA Class 1 eyesight requirements
I would appreciate some advice regarding the impending change to EASA regulation and any potential impact to medical certification. I have recently gained my Class 1 in preparation to start my ATPL training, but have a temporary restriction as my eyes don't meet the standard for inital accreditation. The CAA view my eye health to be satisfactory and well within acceptable parameters for medical revalidation, such that the restriction would normally be removed when I renew under CAA rules. They have however stated that this route could be removed under EASA rules. Does anyone know of any moves by EASA to change the rules regarding medical revalidation that would limit my ability to gain by ATPL.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
