Cookie, can I ask for your opinion on my position please?
I have a CAA PPL I have held since 1983. I have an EASA FCL PPL I have held since January 2013. My SEP, MEP and IRR(A) are all current and valid.
I cannot renew my EU class 2 medical at the moment but may be able to in the future. However, I can obtain an LAPL medical certificate. I do not want to downgrade my full PPL to a LAPL as it does not appear clear what the route back up would be.
Can I fly in the UK on my old CAA PPL with a LAPL medical certificate? Can I still use my MEP and IRR(A) on that combination of licence and medical? From reading all I have so far it appears I can?
I've just noticed that my class 2 medical states an expiry date for LAPL of 30/06/2016 so does that mean I can fly on that certificate that is not now valid as a class 2 but still is for LAPL?
This situation is bordering on ridiculous. I emailed the CAA about this in November but have had no reply.
Help please!
What is your opinion?
Halcyon.
