Can I hold CPL or ATPL without Class 1 medical?
Question
Answer
You can not hold any of EASA professional pilot licence without holding valid Class 1 medical certificate. The validity of your CPL and ATPL licence is thus conditioned by holding valid and current Class 1 medical. If you lost your Class 1 medical certificate, you cannot exercise any privileges of your licence. Not even flying a single-engine piston aircraft.
You have to either re-gain your Class 1 medical or contact your issuing Authortiy to issue you a non-professional licence such as PPL or LAPL.
Recommendation
If your medical fitness has been lost or reduced below the minimum standards required for Class 1 medical, we recommend you to immediately contact your issuing authority for further course of the action.
