After training we (ato) completed the paperwork for the issue of of an EASA PPL. 1104/1199/1157/1107 ,plus all ID and old licence docs carefully completed and countersigned. We also submitted a Swiss EU Class 2 medical and sent it to the CAA. By next day return, back came a rejection, based on the EASA Class 2 Swiss medical isn’t recognised by the CAA med “system”.
Two quotes from the CAA website re. Medical and EASA licence conversion.
Medical requirements for private pilots.
To fly EASA aircraft (eg GA) on a Part FCL PPL ,you will need an internationally recognised Class 2 medical from an AME.
Conversion.
You will need a current EASA medical.
Has anyone had this problem and is there a quote to say that a UK med is required to convert a UK PPL to an EASA PPL. The candidate gained a UK PPL before JAR and is now living in Switzerland hence the query.
