I'm jumping for joy.
A Triumph for our few fragments of English/British independence from the Eu maw.
** HURRAH !! **
Our OWN CAA has wrought a marvellous change in the face of EASA & the rest of them, in sensibly granting NPPL and UK PPL pilots to do their own Medical Self certification.
That means us lot on the upper side of 70 who will shortly be allowed, just as for our Driving Licences, to carry on flying without having to deal any more with with sometimes obstructive and fee demanding GPs - who in any case have better things to do with their time.
It's noteworthy that in the CAA document mentioned above
a) We're doing the same as the USA (Not what is demanded by the Eu 'masters we suffer from normally) and
b) Our CAA will try and persuade the EASA wallahs to do the British thing themselves.
I'm so very grateful the UK CAA gave me a lifetime PPL which through thick & thin and other enticements to change to another Licence, is still the gold plated key allowing me to continue flying.
[All we need do now is totally leave the Eu and regulate our own destiny as we see fit.]
