AME's in Spain

[roadster]

Hi Folks,

I moved to Spain a few years ago and its become a bit of a pain to keep returning to the UK for my class 1 medical. I've looked at the CAA medical site and it does'nt show any AME's for Spain.
Does anyone know of an AME in the Costa Blanca region please ?

You can use a Spanish AME, but I did that once (I have an EASA licence issued by the UK CAA) and it was such a hassle that I fly to England once a year to renew my medical.

This is the webpage of AESA (spanish EASA).

Centros médicos aeronáuticos acreditados - Aeronautical medical examinations - Aviation professionals - Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea - Ministerio de Fomento (http://www.seguridadaerea.gob.es/lang_en/prof_sector/medicina/centros/centros_apartado_2.aspx)

I know the english page is not properly translate but I hope it helps you.

Many thanks dav_vader, I'll have a look at the Valencia option - can you elaborate on the problems you encountered having your medical carried out by a Spanish AME, was it an administration issue ?
Thanks for you help.

Oops apologies dav_vader my reply should have been to zondaracer :\

Hi Zondaracer, thanks for your reply, can you elaborate on what the main hassle factor was with having your medical in Spain ? I've reached a certain age where I now need two medicals a year ! Valencia is only an hour up the road and would make life very much easier if I could make the Spanish medical system work for me !

hi roadster
i would like to try and do similar in VLC..could you make it work relatively hassle free?

Best option in Spain is Dr. Rafael de la Fuente in Cuatro Vientos (LECU) in Madrid. Cheap and fast. Very reliable, you will walk out with your class 1 in circa 30'. Took it once somewhere else and regretted it. Cheers
