I have a UK PPL and an EASA PPL
My medical has lapsed by a few weeks.
I have never had significant surgery (except appendix about 4 years ago).
I am required to have "24hour Holter" results reviewed by the CAA as well. (this is effectively a 24 hour ECG recorder)
Reason? My (lovely and well qualified) AME failed his 'medical' and my personal records were reviewed.
The next nearest AME who performed my subsequent and latest medical renewal has since retired.
As a result of the CAA's simplifications, I am now seriously confused, so I consulted the CAA website for clarification.
Here's what I have to exceed (I think) ...
Guidance for medical certification of private pilots | UK Civil Aviation Authority
While I understand the need for a clear definition of the medical requirements for AMEs, there is also a need for lay guidance for non-medically qualified PPL candidates. Would also be nice if the hurdles for Class 1 and Class 2 were shown separately.
I don't expect answers here, maybe a sympathetic pat on the head?
