Class 1 Medicals
I am a doctor with a passion for aviation. Any of you chaps on here qualified to do Class 1 medicals (from the UK) and willing to PM about what is required to become an examiner etc?
Thanks, Speedy |

Have copied the policy on the points system below. Hope it helps BtD Policy for the Approval of new Aeromedical Examiners Aeromedical examiners will have to meet the licensing and fitness to practise requirements of the General Medical Council and also the criteria of qualification and experience as detailed in JAR FCL-3. This will include a basic course in aviation medicine for class two examiners and an advanced course in aviation medicine for class one examiners. Class one AMEs should have qualification and experience totalling 5 points or more. Class two AMEs should have qualification and experience totalling 4 points or more. The allocation of points for qualification and experience are as follows: General medicine Completion of a higher training in any single area of medical practice, e.g. occupational physician, general practitioner, physician, surgeon, radiologist, anaesthetist etc 3 points Aviation medicine Diploma in Aviation Medicine or equivalent (confers exemption from the requirement to have undertaken the basic and/or advanced course). 2 points OR One year of full time, or part time equivalent, aviation medicine practice e.g. airline medical staff, air ambulance work, regulator, air force, air traffic control etc 1 point OR Two years or more of full time, or part time equivalent, aviation medicine practice e.g. airline medical staff, air ambulance work, regulator, air force, air traffic control etc 2 points Flying experience (licences and ratings can be expired) ICAO PPL, NPPL or equivalent 1 point OR ICAO CPL 2 points OR ICAO Instrument Rating 2 points Only in exceptional cases, for example remote geographical location, will consideration be given to the approval of medical examiners who do not meet the above criteria.

What they havent said is it is dead man's shoes - you have to wait for a retirement in most cases, and it is geographically specific. This means in practice you can wait for years before being appointed. But a nice job IMHO when you do.
good luck |
