Content of Class 1 medical

What do they actually do to you in the examination and how long does it take?
Anywhere I can find a list of what they do to ya?(and the requirements)

I want to go thru as much as I can with my GP b4 going in instead of potentially blowing a couple of hundred euro over something minor...

It's probably been asked b4...sorry, i'm just a bit lazy 2day...

CAA Medical

I went through it last summer. Among other things:

eye test including colour blindness
chest Xray (unless you can provide them with recent one)
peak flow - blow into tube to test lung capacity
blood test, cholesterol, heamoglobin
ECG
hearing test
brain monitoring with flashing lights to check no epilepsy

may have been a bit more, check with CAA or local Doctor who does renewals of medicals.

Hope this helps.

Erm...the CAA's own website maybe!?

All the tests and requirements are there.

Best of luck,

Pipergirl,


You also have to read an article from a newspaper without swearing (much).


Hope this helps

brain monitoring

Some of you may be pleased to know that the test for epilepsy which involves flashing lights and electrodes on the head has now been omitted from the class 1 medical.

Believe it or not the cost is nearly £100 less as a result.

Happy Medicals
