Scenario:
A pilot has been issued with a LAPL medical against a CAA issued EASA PPL(A) licence due to a medical condition being identified as part of a Class 2 a few years ago.
The restriction is for flying with a safety pilot only (I believe this is attached to the medical, rather than the licence...?) and also means the pilot can't excercise use of the previously held IRR due to the licence effectively being downgraded to the LAPL by virtue of the medical held.
They have notified DVLA of the condition and been approved to retain a full UK (Class 1) driving licence.
Question:
Under the Alternative Medical Criteria General Exemption E6131, dated 19 April 2024, can they now make a 'Pilot Medical Declaration' and return to flying under full PPL(A) privileges (Day, Night and IMC) provided that they have the relevant valid ratings, fly a G registered aircraft, <2000kg with no more than 3 passengers and remain within UK airspace?... ie, under a PMD, would the safety pilot restriction now be removed as long as the above caveats are met?
