I'm new here. First of all sorry if I'm not writing in german, but even though I was born near Frankfurt am Main, I left Germany when I was only 6. I speak only a little bit of German, so I do not feel confident to start a thread in german.

I am interested in attending an integrated course at a well-known german training provided but with the old JAR-FCL3 medical standards I could not obtain a medical class 1 certification due to an astigmatism issue. But with the new EASA medical standards I can!

I heard that new EASA medical standards will enter in force in the UK in July, in Italy the will anter in force at least one year later.
As the course will start on 6 August, I want to know when will the new medical standards enter in force.

Otherwise, can somebody send me an email address in order to get in touch with a german AME?

I have only one question left: is it necessary to obtain a class 1 medical certificate in the country the flight school I will attend is located in?
