PART-FCL Licence holder medical requirements
The CAA muddied the waters once again.
The ORS4 document from the CAA linked below describes an alleviation to UK PART-FCL licence holders (full PPL and LAPL) from holding a PART-MED medical when flying EASA aircraft in the UK.
... What this means is that you can fly an EASA aircraft on a Self Declaration medical on your PART-FCL (EASA) licence.
HOWEVER..... there are some caveats!
1. This only applies to EASA PART-FCL Licences issued BEFORE 8th April 2018. 2. You MUST have made a self-declaration Medical to the CAA. 3. This arrangement is ONLY valid in the UK. 4. This alleviation is only valid for VFR flights (meaning you cannot exercise your IMC or IR privileges) 5. You may NOT use this alleviation for commercial flights, cost share flights, introductory flights, or instructional flights 6. You must only exercise the privileges of Pilot-In-Command (‘PIC’) on SEP(Land) or TMG with a maximum certified take-off mass of 2000Kg or less, and are limited to carrying a maximum of 3 passengers, (i.e. never more than 4 persons on board the aircraft)
Note this does not include SEP(Sea). Note that this does not cover those of you on an old UKPPL or NPPL - you still must have a valid PART-FCL licence to fly an EASA aircraft after 8th April 2018.
So.. just remember that it's now not just a case of determining what licence you have, but also WHEN IT WAS ISSUED to be able to decide what you can and can't fly and on what medical!

Andrewsfield FUN Day: Would you fly with this errrr...woman? Vic Abbott shares a little video compilation from the display......

FUN DAY GREAT DAY! If you've got pictures, videos or comments about our fun day yesterday (Sunday 2nd July 2017), please post them here! Loads of people enjoyed flour bombing, balloon bursting, and spot landings, and the "aerobatic challenge", including a hog roast and private members/families/friends mini air display. Don't forget Mrs Willson!

You saw it here first. The CAA have just issued a "SKYWAY CODE" booklet - an excellent guide to private flying rules, regulations and best practice. CAP1535 versions S (for Screen Reading) and P ( Printed Version) available.

What a great experience yesterday. Instructor Ian Laws was fantastic.

Very well organised. My instructor Bob Gardner was very amiable and highly professional. Great experience and highly recommended.

Very peaceful and relaxing stop off for coffee and cake :)

My son had his first flying lesson for his 11th birthday today. It was an amazing experience which I don't think he'll ever forget and he was so well looked after, thank you!

I’ve just had an introductory flight lesson with Ian as my instructor... what can I say - IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! Big thanks to Ian, I’m going to have the silly grin on my face for days! I will most definitely be back for more lessons!!!! LOVED it!!!! Thank you!

P.s my ‘support crew’ thoroughly enjoyed their breakfast while I was in the air!!!! �

I love this place, always something to see and everyone is friendly...the tea is pretty good as well ... :)

I had a trial lesson and loved it. Really friendly staff. I would definitely recommend.

I arrived for my lst flying lesson for my 60th birthday dressed as 'squadron leader Watson'. The staff were delightful and joined in the laughter. The flying lesson was amazing, the instructor couldnt have been better. The man behind the canteen cooked lovely food and all in all the staff at andrews airfield made my day one to remember. I would recommend if you want a flying lesson to go straight to this airfield

Great place to meet for a young family and friends alike. Has a bar as well, they have a small menu but food is really good, and it's nice to see the small planes take off and land.

Great mug of tea and bacon rolls, good stop on a bike ride.

Food here is great, freshly cooked and great value for money- would recommend if you're looking somewhere slightly different to eat

Fantastic experience- bought it for my husband and he enjoyed every minute!!!! Thanks to his instructor Mike!! ��

Excellent training, the best school to take off with your dreams.

The meals are all fresh prepared and really super tasty !!

Excellent place for flying! Had an amazing experience flying for the first time. We were well looked after by our instructor Dave Gauntlett who was very professional and he could not have been more helpful. First flying lesson but not the last! Thank you for a fantastic day!

Everyone was friendly and welcoming

Our Pilot Ian was great

My son had a great time flying for the first time.

The airfield also has a great cafe that anyone can use which was packed inside and out with cyclists and motorbikes all drinking and eating.

I'm sure we will be back.



I would recommend it to all that I know

Don't know about the flying bit...But the brekkie was good!
