Hi all,
I have never been able to figure out the differences between renewal and re-validation of medical certificate at the UK CAA. If I'm not mistaken, renewal applies to the 40 days prior to expiry date, while re-validation applies during 2 years after the expiry date. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
But on the technical level of medical examinations, what are the exact differences? Is it true that one of them is less strict than the other for class 1 medicals?
Would appreciate your inputs.
Cheers.
