Hi
I have EASA PPL.
I was flying club PA28's but als own an Aeronca Champ on LAA permit to fly.
My recent medical has thrown up a query about obstructive sleep apnoea and I am having to see a specialist again to re assess diagnosis. This was originally a referral in 2010 due to my snoring. So currently no medical to fly on my EASA PPL.

Do I have any option(s) to be able to fly my aircraft?

Thanks

Sean

Assuming that the Sleep Apnoea question does not in itself affect your driving licence, (it might be a mandatory reporting thing for the DVLA) then this...

suggests to me that you can self declare and fly your LAA aircraft on your existing EASA PPL.

@Dodo
Thanks for the response.

When I first looked at this, I thought I was stuffed to fly my aircraft on current licence, but on second reading I think I will be ok

Alternatively you can declare your medical fitness to the CAA (subject to certain conditions) by making a Pilot Medical Declaration. Such medical declarations are only valid for non-EASA aircraft and for use within UK airspace.

As I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnoea, my GP is ok with me driving and doesn't see a problem. Saw them 2 weeks ago.

Yes, it was this bit hidden down the bottom of the same document that says

Flying Non-EASA aircraft with a UK-issued EU Part-FCL PPL or LAPL
A pilot with a UK-issued EU Part-FCL PPL or LAPL may fly Non-EASA aircraft within UK airspace in conjunction with this declaration.

ISTR that there is a temporary exemption to let people fly EASA a/c on a self declaration and an EASA PPL too (until next April), but I can't find it.
