UK NPPL
Excellent idea for recreational flying. Relaxed medical requirements for Weekend flyers 5 star idea for GA. Have not seen the Canadians or Americans utilize the license for their GA industry. We can now fly into France for great cuisine if one tires of fish and chips.Innovation in Action

Yes agreed but not a big issue just stay local. A good common sense approach.There seems to be much not agreed upon with medical regulations internationally with the NPPL the wise-men have opted out for the open brain surgery examination.
Besides if I had the money to fly my King Air I can go down to Africa and surely find some righteous doctor to sign me off a valid medical and license.Thats why they call us barn stormers were good at flying through hoops

Our standards are, predictably, much higher in the UK, where GPs need to confirm that we meet the PROFESSIONAL drivers licence medical requirements.
