As I understand from enquiries made and answers received.....
Holders of the NPPL SSEA will migrate to LAPL sometime before 2015 but the medical requirements will be more rigid than at present and require sign off by an AME.
Does anyone yet know the full medical requirements? If the medical is to be more onerous what will happen to those Pilots who got back into flying after failing the JAR medical and going NPPL and getting a GP medical? Will they be out of flying again?
I have a current CAA (M) and a lapsed NPPL SSEA and have been toying with the idea of revalidating the NPPL but before doing so really need to understand the implications of the propsed changes to the medical.
