Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still fly if I have a medical condition?

In some cases, yes. If you have a medical condition that could potentially affect your ability to fly, it is essential to disclose this information during the examination. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) considers each case individually and may issue a special issuance medical certificate if appropriate.
What happens if my aviation medical is denied?

If your medical is denied, you may not be permitted to fly as a commercial or private pilot. However, there are steps you can take to address any issues and regain your eligibility for an aviation medical certificate. Our team at Rural Medical Clinic can provide advice and support in these situations.
What is a Class 1 Aviation Medical Certificate?

A Class 1 Aviation Medical Certificate is required for pilots who operate commercial aircraft or those with an airline transport pilot licence. It involves a comprehensive assessment of the pilot's physical and mental health and must be renewed annually. This certificate carries stricter guidelines compared to lower-class certificates, as these pilots are responsible for the safety of passengers and crew.
What is a Class 2 Aviation Medical Certificate?

A Class 2 Aviation Medical Certificate is required for private pilots or those operating non-commercial aircraft. It involves a less comprehensive assessment compared to a Class 1 Certificate and must be renewed every four years for pilots under the age of 40, and every two years for those over 40. This certificate allows individuals to fly recreationally but restricts them from operating commercial flights.
