| A8. If you pass the medical then you can fly. Over 70 and you need to repeat parts of the medical every six months, but that’s all. ABOUT THE MEDICAL: The initial medical is the biggest hassle, renewals much less so as you are in the system. You need a class 2 medical for everything. Now the rules say that a UK class 2 is OK in the case of the PPL conversion, but we have`t actually put it to the test yet – guinea pigs welcome!! However, if you live here, it may be worth just biting the bullet and getting the Spanish one anyway. Initially you will need to go to Alicante, to two places, on two separate days. One for a blood analysis, and the other to collect the results of the analysis and do the medical. The total cost is 162€. I can make the appointments, take people, and translate, last time we got 5 guys together and block booked on two separate days and got everything done and dusted in the mornings. This worked well, so if anyone is interested give me a call. It sounds a mountain, but it`s not so bad, and once it´s done it´s done, and the rest is in the cockpit having fun! |
