Does anyone have any idea where I can get an SA medical done in Europe? I'd prefer doing it in Germany, Switzerland or France, but would obviously travel elsewhere if required.

Thanks

All stations... :ok:

you can do it at London Gatwick, Aviation Medical Centre.
Can fish out details for you if you want.
There should be a list of foreign AME's approved to do SA medicals, on the caa website www.caa.co.za
Also, SA CAA can accept a foreign class 1 medical in order to revalidate your sa one, best speak to them as I don't have the exact reference.
Cheers, mooi bly

Thanks mate. Great idea. I guess I'll have to do the medical in the UK though. I tried calling the CAA three times this afternoon. All that I got was a recording promising me that they'd answer my call and that I should visit their website. But NEVER an answer! Total time on hold = 74 minutes! From Europe.

Great Service SA-CAA!
