Class 1 medical with ppl
 

I was wondering can you get your ppl with a class one medical or do you have to get a class 2 then a class one when going for fATPL??

Yes you can, you're class one will do nicely for ppl, but a class too suffices.

If you intend going on to commercial flying get your Class 1 medical as soon as possible, whilst any potential problems have failed to raise their heads.

Once you have the Class 1 medical that's you on renewal limits for the next 10 years so if, for example, your eyesight does deteriorate you don't have to worry about meeting initial standards.

Only my opinion.
