Any RAF Dr's ??
Hi,
When i go to University next year, i am looking to join a UAS. I'm an active member in the ATC and a Staff Cadet at a local AEF with a fair few hours on Bulldogs. I am studying for my PPL and have been solo after 8 hours. Also, on the Air Cadet Gliding Scholarship, i was solo after just 2 hours on a vigilant.
I was wondering if one of you could let me know the criteria for the RAF Medical you have to pass to get in. I do not wear glasses or contact lenses, i don't think im colour blind and i don't think i'm deaf. One thing is, i'm very tall. Can someone please cofirm the very maximum height limit?
I'm about 193cm.. but may be something like 1cm above or below that. Is the RAF Medical very relaxed, or would they go by the exact mm?
Also, are the medicals done on the base? or do you have to visit Cranwell?
I take it the medical you need to join the UAS is the same as a "RAF Aircrew Medical?"
Thanks for your help,
Andy
