Allowing your 1st Class Med. to lapse while studying ATPL
Please could someone tell me what the consequences are if you allow your First class medical to lapse, if it is allowed?
As I am currently studying for my ATPL theoretical (modular distance) and my 1st class annual renewal is just around the corner. As I will not be starting my CPL for a good 6 months yet, can I let it lapse and just get it renewed before I start training. I have a current class 2 medical also which is valid for another 3 years, so I can still bumble about in a GA fashion.
Any info on this much appreciated. I have tried this question in the Medical forum but no response so hopefully someone might know here.
Yours
Mint
