You might be able to get a LAPL from your GP.

I'm awaiting my LAPL (applied for on the back of my NPPL) and might try for the LAPL medical but understand that with a replacement heart valve I can't get my GP to do it. What is an AME likely to want? Echocardiogram? Exercise ECG? Three months worth of my flying budget?

I just wonder if it's not all too much of a faff.

No chance - been quoted £240 from my old Class 2 AME for a LAPL Med

What did you do to upset him? Go PMD?

PMD only a possible route for non-EASA aeroplanes past 8/4/20.

£240 for a straightforward LAPL seems............no bargain.

@JAFO You would have to discuss that with your AME.

Thanks @Flyin'Dutch' , my questions were largely rhetorical as I think I know the answer which is that it's all a bit too much of a faff. Funny really as I flew today, I am still alive and schools, nunneries, orphanages and kennels full of fluffy puppies all remained entirely unplummetted upon. Rather odd that in a little over a month, I will be unsafe to pilot the aeroplane I flew today.

Oh well, I've booked a few more slots for March. Something will turn up, I'm sure.

Yes. I asked if he had dispensed with his AME's services while a PMD was valid for EASA aeroplanes, thus upsetting said AME.

Current share in an EASA C172 & have been PMD since Class 2 ran out - ( so After April no med ) & also I’d like to get back to some Channel Island runs & France again.

My AME & I have “history” - so I feel ‘obliged’ for him to look after my LAPL medical.

Tho £240 does seem a tad steep

Mine was £125.

How long ago did your class 2 run out? (You might have a lapl medical now....)

[Richard Dastardly]

Checked the Certificate already - 2019

Never mind

[Paul_Sengupta]

So does that mean 2020 for the LAPL part of it, or do you mean the LAPL part expired in 2019?

[Richard Dastardly]

Expired 2019

So are some of us being screwed over then?
Much like vets allegedly do?
Grabbing hands...grab all they can...

[stevelup]

It’s a free market - just go find someone who isn’t ripping you off.

[Irv Lee]

Any news on the other stuff that expires April? This is all about pmd. What about PPL, class 2 easa medical, flying easa aircraft?
@flyingeeza
Have they put you on very expensive dried food only available from an AME yet?

[Skybolt1]

I wonder whether the CAA will be able to extend the PMD exemption? It's obviously not going to be possible to arrange a EASA-proof medical for the next while. Nor use it for a bit.
