I have just fooled the doc into signing me off as A1G1Z1 again! I have also been asked by a friend to fly his ac. My PPL expired some years ago when I moved from the Gnat to the Hunter (the Hunter was over the max weight for SE PPL) so I need my PPL back.
Does anyone have a list, or know, of Mil Docs who can issue PPL Medicals? It may save cost, but also some of the steps/tests?

Couple of years ago there was a Doc at the Med Centre at RAF Wittering who could do PPL Medicals.Cant remember his name but he was on the list of approved examiners from CAA.
Hope this helps

In my experience the vast majority of SMOs (at several units) have been able to sign off my PPL medical with very little deviation from a PME. I was under the impression that most RAF docs undertake the relevant training/accreditation at some point as part of their professional training/development.
:ok:

The SMO at Cosford is/was CAA approved - also Valley.

Got mine from the SMO at Cranditz. Cost £40 for someone to 'read' the ECG and then £40 for 'admin costs'! Was about 2 years ago though!

Theres a female doc (can't remember name) at Cranhell who can do CAA medicals. She did mine last July when I had my PME.

I am sure that there is someone at the Benson flying club who could help, contact by email is best.

Flying Scotsman,
You're in Gloucestershire, right? I'd be surprised if none of the MOs at Brize didn't have the quals to do a ppl med.

Dr Rowntree used to conduct CAA medicals at Brize a few years back. - I think she was OC PMS' wife so may have moved on?
Dr Rowntree was still at Brize as of last year. Very helpful she was too. Expect a hundred quid admin charge for a Class 1 CAA medical.
