Changing from NPPL to LAPL medical certification
3-Jan-2012We appreciate that many holders of NPPL licences are seeking guidance as to how the future EASA medical certification system will affect them. Unfortunately at this stage, while we are reviewing the EASA changes, we are not in a position to be able to answer queries on a case by case basis.EASA published the Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material (AMC/GM) related to the Implementing Rules Part-MED (Annex IV of the future European Aircrew Regulation) on 15 December. The new Aircrew Regulation enters into force on 8 April 2012 and the UK will implement it on 1 July 2012. There will be a period of transition for the change from NPPL to LAPL medical certification spanning three years until 2015.The UK CAA is now reviewing the guidance and rules and preparing Aeromedical Examiners (AMEs), general medical practitioners (GPs) and Aeromedical Centres for the implementation of the new regulation in July.Once this is in place, the UK has implemented the Aircrew Regulation, and a pilot has made an application for an EASA medical certificate, it will be possible to offer individual case by case guidance.General advice regarding the changes and the transition arrangements will be provided on the CAA website at www.caa.co.uk/medical under ‘What’s New’.
