Private flight with CPL but with Medical Certificate Class 1 expired
Hi everyone!
My medical certificate class 1 expired yesterday, already renewed it but I'm still waiting for it to be delivered.
My question is:
Can I do a private flight (non-commercial) with my CPL licence but only with my Medical Certificate Class 2?
I know that to be eligible for a CPL licence, I must have a MC Class 1, but what I think that JAR-FCL says is that a Class 1 is needed for commercial flights, not private.
Can anyone clarify this to me ?
Thank you !

Here in OZ I have heard people argue that those people who trained directly to CPL without actually getting a PPL on the way can't legally fly at all (even privately) if their class 1 has expired.
I.e. They argue that the still valid class 2 is only useable if you have a PPL.
I say WTF let's use some common sense and not look for difficulties. Surely it's reasonable to assume the class 2 will be sufficient for private flights using a CPL as a defacto PPL.
OOW

peterc005, thank you very much!
outofwhack, here in Portugal, you do not need a Class 1 certificate while you're doing your training, however they are going to change that and they will require Class 1 for all students. But thanks for your help too.
In my medical certificate, it states in the Class 1 column that it is needed for commercial flights but doesn't say none in the Class 2 column .. So, i decided better to ask before do any flight with my medical class 1 expired.
Cheers !
