Flying Gliders in Europe: Medical Requirements
Absolutely true.
But, I think it is safe to say that is going to be a very rare thing for a USA pilot to ship their plane to europe to fly for a couple of weeks. With places like St. Auban that have practically every glider made available for rent...why? I was in Fayence today and their selection of gliders is just fine for a short summer vacation. Nice Cumulus in France today. |

Flying Gliders in Europe: Medical Requirements
And besides, a medical certificate is much cheaper to get than shipping
a glider.Â* If worried about the FAA, get it in Europe. On 9/10/2018 2:33 PM, wrote: Absolutely true.

Nice Cumulus in France today. I shipped mine in 2015 when I moved here. All it takes is one peek at the EASA nightmares, paperwork and bureaucrats in love with their little rubber stamps to know it's worth it. The cost for a 40 ft container delvered in Bremen was relatively small compared to the hassles of the alternative. Especially when my glider is a classic Italian standard-class glider. |

Flying Gliders in Europe: Medical Requirements
Translation: The ICAO convention in Chicago in 1944 set standards for international air travel, including pilot medical requirements, which are detailed in ICAO Document 8984, Manual of Civil Aviation Medicine. Unfortunately, the link on the ICAO web site to this manual doesn't work, and I can't find any other way to obtain that document,
Can you post the broken link? Bart |
