Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our medical assessments.
What do I need to bring with me?
– Photo ID is compulsory. We cannot complete the medical without it.
– Your previous medical certificate.
– If you wear glasses and contact lenses, bring them along. If you wear contacts, you must be prepared to remove them, so bring your glasses as well.
– If you wear glasses or contact lenses bring a completed eye examination form completed by an optometrist if you have not submitted one in the previous 2 years. If you require a full comprehensive ophthalmology report UK CAA MED162 Eye Examination Form or for EASA Med162 eye Examination report.
– Recent glasses/contact lens prescription if applicable.
– Medical reports relating to any significant current or past medical history.
Do I need any other tests?
– The UK CAA & EASA require all Class 1 pilots to have a finger prick test every year to rule out anaemia. Some Pilots/ATCOS may also be required to use the same test to check their cholesterol levels.
– For Class 1 Pilots an audiogram (hearing test) is required every 5 years below the age of 40 years. This is then required every 2 years above the age of 40 years.
– An ECG maybe required depending on your age and medical history. This test does involve placing sticky pads on the chest. Ladies are advised to wear a non-wired bra/sports bra and anyone with a lot of hair may be required to shave the patches where the pads attach.
– Sometimes your ECG may need to be sent to a local Cardiologist for an opinion at an extra cost.
