Could we have a link to the arrêté? I have checked the Journal Officiel back to mid-June and been unable to find it.

Thanks Penny. No wonder I couldn't find it. The arrêté is from 1991 and the AIC circular dated yesterday has still not been uploaded to SIA site.

"Well done" to all involved in this project.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The first NPPL "ICAO Certificate of Compliance" has been issued today, which allows a NPPL holder to fly to France.

More details of the process involved is published on the LAA website:

There are still a few items to tidy up in terms of acceptable medicals; currently any JAR-FCL medical or French ICAO Class 2 medical are accepted with more to be added to the list soon.

In addition to those mentioned elsewhere, I would publicly like to thank the CAA's Ray Elgy and Cliff Whittaker for their assistance.

Regards,

Cookie

Any chance of the FAA Class 3 being added to the list?

Nope. It is not ICAO compliant.

Nearly though:

6.4 A Third Class Medical Certificate is required when exercising the
privileges of a private pilot.
6.4.1.2 The interval between two medical fitness reports is up to 37 months
less one day for private pilots. ( for under 40s)
6.4.2.22 Pregnancy does not prohibit the issue of a medical certificate.
6.4.3.3 A requirement that a spare set of corrective lenses be readily
available when exercising the privileges of the licence is not established.
6.4.3.4 The demonstration of compliance with the visual requirements to be
made with only one pair of corrective lenses is not required.

I could promise to have a medical every year, not get pregnant, carry a spare pair of glasses and use varifocals
