Dear all,
I am a French pilot, lucky owner of a Comanche, for some (many?) years now, under French registration. I am flying the plane under a french PPL.
As life is not always simple, my class 2 medical certificate has been denied (or at least posponed till getting the position of some "doctors council", position that I am waiting for 6 months now and that will be more probably negative whatever). The reason is I have had a stent placed in some coronar (the only one that it is not a big deal as my doctor said!).
I have not been in such a perfect health for many years but regulation is regulation and I am not able to fly anymore for the time being. Thus, I am looking for a solution.
One could be to transform my French PPL into a UK LAPL. Indeed, I comply with the LAPL medical requirement ("coronar desease treated with controlled risk factors" in bureaucratic language) as edicted by EU (sorry guys!) but not when "translated" by the French administration.
I understand that getting a LAPL medical certificate is much simpler in the UK than in France. In fact, any doctor can
Thus, I have two questions
1 - Does anyone know how to transform a foreign PPL into a UK LAPL?
2 - How could I find the right doctor (to say explaining the situation before meeting him and able to grant the ceritficate!)
Many thanks for advices and info!!!
