Canadian C1 Med

[Tonic Please]

I've done a search, but my question is quite unique.

I need to do a Canadian CLASS1 medical at Gatwick. Sure I could phone, but I think that posting here and receiving a response will help others too.

How much is it, as I can't find prices on the net. Also, what is the expiary date for a C1 Medical? Is the Canadian one different to the JAR?

Thank you in advance,

Dan

Hi,

My class 1 medical has always cost me $90 CDN having it done locally. The class 1 is good for a year if under 40, 6 months if 40 and over. I have never been asked to provide a copy of my eye prescription, othewise I believe it is very similar to the JAR medical.

It's not exactly Gatwick but if ya takes the 'el cheapo' flight down to Prague, you might get it done for a fraction of the cost and still get tanked after the medical. :}
Seriously...here's a link. You might want to give Dr. Truska a call. http://www.ulz.cz/en/index.htm
He's a very nice guy with Canadian credentials, I think he did a stint at one of the UK hospitals for a number of years so English is very very good for a local.
Good luck

This is a process fee only.

The medical exam is charged by the doctor $90CD sounds about right, much less than the CAA.

Similar exam to the JAR but suprised at no hearing test. Hope this helps.
