EASA initial class one in us.

[kentcopter]

hi does anyone know is it possible to do a Easa initial class one in the states and then do CPL H training in the uk?

I have a Easa PPL H , about to start my FAA CPL H and IR H in the states i already hold a CAA class 2 and FAA class 2 I want to do the initial class one medical while I’m in the states and if all goes well start my theory exams for Easa CPL H while still in the states and then come back and start my Easa CPL H course.

thanks in advance.

An initial class 1 must be carried at at an AeMC.

For the UK, these are listed here https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-ind...ificate/#aemcs

No AeMC in the States, but they have an AME in Ormond Beach, FL (close to Daytona Beach), which can renew your Medical.

Do you need a class I medical to start the theory exams? or can you not do it on your class 2 and when back in the UK, do the class 1 medical and start the flying bit of the CPL(H) course?

You don’t need the Class 1 medical to take the exams (at least, you never used to). But it’s quite a risk to do all the work to pass the exams and then discover that you can’t get a Class 1 due to a medical reason.

The advice is always, if you intend to fly commercially, get your Class 1 first.
