UK Civil Aviation Regulations

These are published by the CAA on our UK Regulations pages. EU Regulations and EASA Access Guides published by EASA no longer apply in the UK. Our website and publications are being reviewed to update all references. Any references to EU law and EASA Access guides should be disregarded and where applicable the equivalent UK versions referred to instead.



At the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) 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.

Our medical records system - Cellma

The CAA medical records system (Cellma) can be accessed as a service via the CAA Customer Portal. This online system has replaced all existing paper-based application forms and also allows applicants to view their own medical record and to track the progress of applications and referrals to the Authority.
