Approved Aeromedical Examiners: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Find out how to access authorized medical facilities to ensure your aviation medical certifications remain valid for your pilot license.
This scheme provides pilots with access to a network of authorized medical facilities designated to perform essential health assessments.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for pilots who require Class 1 medical certificates to maintain their professional flying credentials. These assessments are necessary to ensure that pilots meet the specific health standards required for their role in aviation.
What you get
By using these services, you gain access to authorized medical facilities that are specifically permitted to conduct aviation medical examinations. These centers are equipped and authorized to perform the specialized health checks required for your professional standing.
What it costs you
There is no government fee mentioned for the scheme itself; instead, you are responsible for paying the standard medical examination fees charged by the specific medical facility where you undergo your assessment.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that only centers officially approved by the General Civil Aviation Authority are valid for your license renewal. If you undergo your medical exam at a facility that does not hold this specific approval, your results may not be accepted for your official licensing requirements.
