Reader's Question—French Medical Examiner

Carl Meek writes:

Hi,

I am an NPPL holder in the south of England, and want to fly in France.

In order to do this I need an ICAO class 2 medical.

Due to a mechanical heart valve replacement, I am ineligible for a JAR class 2, but believe I meet ICAO class 2 rules.

I am therefore looking for a medical examiner in the north of France, who speaks English, who could perform a full medical for me and grant me a French medical certificate.

Can you help?

The file referenced below is a list of the current approved doctors by the DGAC (it's a copy I made a few months ago, so while it may not be the latest, I'm sure it's not changed substantially!). It's sorted by post code (the CP column). Look for doctors with post codes that start 62 (Pas de Calais), 59 (Lille area) or 80 (Picardie).

As to which (if any) speak English, I'm afraid that it will just be a case of calling them up and asking, many speak enough to 'get you through' .... (if you use Ratebuster - 0844 7200000 then calls to Europe are only 1pence/min).

Hope that helps,
John
