Moravcik25,

Are you sure? I'm pretty certain that the NATS Medical is more stringent than the CAA Medical. Having sat both, it would certainly appear that way from the outset merely in terms of the additional tests such as strength testing etc required for the NATS Medical at Swanwick.

When I spoke to NATS OHS on the phone they also told me their own Medical was a stricter procedure than the CAA. The idea being, that candidates need to be 'NATS fit' in order to begin training with NATS. Candidates may fail a NATS Medical, pass a CAA Medical and be eligible for ATM training with another company.

I'm returning to Gatwick on the 15th to do an additional test regarding my ECG. Treadmill by the sounds of it. Fingers crossed things will be fine and I'll get my certificate at long last but it's an anxious wait at the same time!


Best of luck to everyone going through the process, regardless of stage.
