Best thing you will ever do Jake :cheers2:

Not sure about a JAA medical but if you do a NPPL not a PPL you can do a DVLA self cert medical. NPPL just means you cant fly in europe but its a start :cheers2:

My understanding is you can, but there's formalities involving getting permission from the foreign aviation authority; the restrictions are more about the vehicle and not being able to add special ratings.

Excellent news, congratulations. That will 5 grands worth! You should have no problems with the medical, there will be an endorsement regarding appropriate control modifications, and you may require a check pilot (i.e. no solo) - but if you can flys an R/C helicopter, you can fly a non-complex full size fixed wing. There is even a special association and grants/sponsordhips available...

Take your time and enjoy, do not rush, and there is a fair bit of study to do as well, with associated exams, but they are not difficult.

Congratulations Jake, very pleased for you.

If I take your grand dad out for a lunch, can he fix my PPL training as well....[IMG]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/testvb/images/icons/icon10.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/testvb/images/icons/icon10.gif[/IMG]

I'm sure you medical will be fine.

Congrats Jake I'm sure you'll love it!

I can't do my PPL due to my Type 1 Diabetes, but as Tom says, there's still the NPPL which is only as strict as the DVLA and a doctor's note. You can fly things like cesnas etc, with up to 3 passengers :)
