utterly confused over ppl medicals

Hi everyone,

Currently, I'm close to solo-ing in a glider so need to get a BGA medical. However, it is my intention in the future to progress to a PPL (especially as you can apparently put gliding hours towards to the hour count). A such, I will look to do a PPL medical straight away to cover all bases.

I'm bewildered by the choice of PPL's these days though, especially as they all seem to have different medical standards. NPPL, UK PPL, EASA PPL, LAPL...

So, if In the future I wished to go on a jaunt over to the continent, possibly in a multi-engined kite, what licence would I be needing to work towards? And resultantly, what medical standards do I need to meet, where can I get the medical done, and how much is it likely to cost?


Thanks,

Matt
