Hello, I have a disqualifying condition that prevents me from getting a third class medical in the US. Even if it were possible I would not like to take the risk as I am a sport pilot with 200 hours and own my own plane.
However, I would like to be able to log time as PIC in a 172 as I frequently fly one with a PPL in the right seat as legal PIC. Right now I am unable to log these hours. However, if I did have a PPL I would be able to even without a valid medical.
If I have the time any money to spend I was thinking of taking a vacation to Canada or some other country and getting a PPL there. I know in Canada I would pass a class 4 medical or even a class 3 as they will issue for my condition given certain parameters.
I can then convert the license to an FAA certificate and can now log time as PIC as long as I have a legal PIC with me at a control station.
