I think I know the answer to this but I just want to make sure.
I have been flying on an LAPL (two actually, fixed wing and rotary) since they very first became available. Until now I have been regularly going for an LAPL medical every two years. When the med dec was announced I made one as a belt and braces move to cover all eventualities.
My LAPL medical runs out later this month and I am debating whether or not I need to renew it? The exemption that allowed the use of the med dec is only valid until some time next year and if its validity were not to be extended for any reason I would again have to rely on the LAPL medical.
Or can one assume that the med dec arrangement will be made permanent?
(I also have a lifetime CAA PPL(A), an NPPL(A) and a lifetime CAA PPL(H), all of which are currently expired as I prefer to fly on the LAPLs because the currency arrangements are so simple.)
