Need advice about JAA class 1 medical.
Will start my course january 2006, and it's divided in two parts.
1. USA - obtain all FAA certificates. (2 years)
2. Return to Europe and convert to JAA.
I already have my FAA class 1 medical. The doctor were very sure that I would pass the JAA class 1 too. It's very expensive, so I'm not sure if I should do the check now or when I return. Someone told me that I need to do a periodic check each year. If I skip 1 year and do this check when I come home, will the JAA class 1 medical still be valid?
Thanks...

JAA medical
My advise: Do the initial JAA medical before you leave, imagine coming back from the states and fail!! That is alot of money wasted in case it comes to that. You only need to do the yearly check when you are back after 2 years.
Good luck!

That is sound advice from the Berserker.
Dunno where in Europe you are but suspect that most initial class one medicals will be cheaper than the UK one at over £400.
Even at £400 it is small fry compared to doing all the FAA stuff up to ATPL and the JAR ATPL writtens and finding out that there is something that cropped up during an initial class one.
