JAR1 Medical is that it?

Hi

After reading Paul's thread, it made me think? Once the Class 1 Medical is obtained is that it? Do airlines do their own medicals or is the Class 1 seen as being it? A question I failed to asked when I recently obtained mine.

The class 1 is all you need. If airlines did their own there would be no point in obtaining a class 1.

Poss,

Not totally correct, many airlines conduct their own medicals.

I can point you towards quite a few crew who hold valid Class 1 medicals but are fighting with their airline medical representatives about regaining flying status.

BTW, remember that the class 1 doesnt test for drugs etc, the airline medical might include these tests.

Class 1 medical = minimum legal requirement

Any further medical examinations = extra cost to be met by those that require it.

Therefore, further medical examinations are unusual, but not out of the question.
