JAA initial Class 1 (not from UK/Ireland) - Croatia, Czech, Serbia, Malta...??
Folks,
I am currently looking at the above JAA Member states (Croatia, Serbia, Czech, Malta) to acquire an initial JAA Class 1 medical. I am searching for the level of emphasis/leniency placed by the AMS of these and in fact other JAA Member states when testing vision (particularly visual fields/peripheral vision) .
If anyone has completed a medical in any of these states or in fact any other state (apart from Ireland and UK), I would really appreciate the info on the level of testing, emphasis on eyes etc and a general 'heads up'..
Cheers,
Scoobster

Has no one ever got an initial class 1 from any other country apart from U.K or Ireland?! 
Surely some living in Europe have taken it somewhere else and can provide an insight?!

Have done my initial class 2 in Malta, I was asked to do a stress test even though I was never really given a reason why, so I get the feeling that since there aren't that many pilots in Malta, the few pilots they do test undergo thorough tests...just my interpretation though.

About 15 mins ago I was talking to the Head of Medical Division here in Latvia because I'm in the process of converting my licence. He told me that they have had a number of people coming from the UK to get their initials over here, although this is more a consideration of cost.
I have a medical on Thursday so I should be able to offer a straight renewal comparison after that.
The standard I think should be identical through all JAA states, but I shall ask them about this when I go for mine - watch this space!
And add to this that a medical issued in one JAA state should be valid in all the others. My UK medical has been valid here, and the Latvian medical I will get on Thursday should be recognised in any other state.

jezzbaldwin,
I will definately be interested in the opthalmic portion of your exam, in fact the whole exam as a whole.
If you manage to query the doctor, I would be grateful if you managed to find out how visual fields/peripheral vision is tested?
I will pick this up with you via PM.
