Default UK medical requirements for US glider pilots...

For most other non-UK countries, the medical requirements
are stricter, and an ICAO [=FAA ?] class 2 medical
is required. If you have one of these then you are
automatically OK in UK.


In US an FAA class 2 medical is only required while excercising the
privileges of a commercial certificate. I would hope an FAA class 3
would be sufficient for UK gliding as it is far more stringent than
being ok to drive a car.

Perhaps ICAO class 2 is not equivalent to FAA class 2, anyone know?
