thinking about heading over there early for some flying.
I have a US

Will I need a US or UK medical validation to fly solo
in the UK? Any
other formal requirements (licensing or otherwise),
other than the
obvious check ride requirements wherever I end up?

Thanks,

Marc.

I hope you have an enjoyable stay in the UK, and that
the weather is kind to you...

Forget all the ill-advised drivel written so far and
have a look at the UK Gliding Medical Standards, which
you can view in the BGA website at www.gliding.co.uk/bgainfo/medic

The medical requirements apply to all pilots wishing
to fly solo in the UK.
