Is it feasible to submit my Qantas application without the current CASA license and medical, with the intention of renewing them early next year during my annual leave?
My last MECIR renewal was conducted on a BE55. Could someone kindly recommend a flight school for the renewal and roughly how long it takes for both the renewal and the medical examination? Thank you so much.
Current IR is NOT required - as long as you have had one before
For the application, you actually don’t need the license at hand - only for the interview.
Initial medical takes a few days if you are organized (hearing test, piss test, blood test, eye test) - processing times 2-4 weeks
You have plenty of time up your sleeve if you get on with it.
