Class 1 Medical

[Bananaflyer737]

Hey everybody,

Does anybody know how long the renewal takes for the Class 1 medical at Gatwick?

Also the cost of the renewal? I have been trying to get through to them all week, but no joy.

Cheers guys.

Go to the CAA website and search for CAA Scheme of Charges (Personnel Licences) and you'll find a few figures in Table 54.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the booking procedure! Drew a blank on that one.

Good luck

Why go to Gatwick? Any AME who is CAA certified can surey do a Class 1 renewal. Nowadays the CAA just usually redirect you back to the AME anyway if theres an issue. Each AME can charge a different amount. I know some of my Class 1's have cost £120 and others over £200.

Thanks helimutt,

I done my initial at Gatwick, so could I change the location for my renewal?

I did look at one not too far from me that's quite cheap. I live right beside Gatwick though.

Cheers.

One of the fundamental issues is that you have the absolute right to choose who you go to for your renewals. Nobody can tell you, not even employers, which AME to use.

Any one how long the initial medical class certificate process takes? Is it a full morning, half a day or whole day?

I am very new to this, sorry..

You can't go to the CAA at Gatwick anymore anyway...
