One of my students had his Class 2 expire, but is still within the LAPL expiration. He has a EASA PPL + IR(R).
I’m trying to find out
A) Can I instruct him (with expired medical)
B) Can he fly on his EASA PPL (given his medical is still valid for LAPL), or does he need to ask for a LAPL based on his EASA PPL
C) If not, can is there any other way he can fly without re-doing his medical?

B) Can he fly on his EASA PPL (given his medical is still valid for LAPL), or does he need to ask for a LAPL based on his EASA PPLNO. He needs to convert the license to LAPL. There is a similar situation when a CPL/ATPL holder fails a class 1 medical (could be for temporary reasons) but can get a class 2 one. I understand EASA is aware of this issue and may do something about it
C) If not, can is there any other way he can fly without re-doing his medical?Not on an EASA license. Possibly on a national license.

If he’s one of your students, then he’s obviously training for something. Which begs the question – why doesn’t he just get his medical sorted?
I am very sure that you can have IR training and do an IR test or revalidation without a valid medical. This is because – in EASA-land – the instructor is the PIC even if the student is capable of being the PIC.
Probably same for a PPL, although obviously the PPL involves some solo flights so you need a medical for those parts.
A) Yes
B) No because a LAPL is not contained in a PPL – he would have to downgrade his PPL to a LAPL. Note he could then not use his IR(R)
C) Depends if he has a national licence still
Ps a lot also depends on wha the instruction is for
