We regulate and implement medical requirements for professional flight crew, private pilots, air traffic controllers and cabin crew.
A step-by-step guide to the classes of medical certificates for pilots and air traffic controllers and how to apply can be found in this overview, which also has information on obtaining a cabin crew medical report.
We also oversee the approval and continued certification of Aeromedical Centres (AeMCs) and an Aeromedical Examiner (AME) network.
