Class 1 medical costs
I did my class 1 medical recently and the cost, I consider a little steep..
$370 for a class 1 renewal (only addition lung function and ecg) seems a bit of a rip..
Is it me or am I backing up to the pineapple...
NO CASA fees included in that $370

WHat are you going to do about it?
I have enough off these expensive medicals and just not going to do one next time. I am not going to suport some rich docter and make him richer.
stuff it. lol
It is not to cheap i think, but could be a lot worse. Years ago i had a bad accident, and suffered a bit off a brushed head.
To have it sorted out by some specialist to clear me to fly again costed me 750 dollar.his hourly rate that was. (just to talk and do tests with this guy, and that was 2 years after the accident) anyway he cleared me so i supose it was worth it. still had to do the rest off the normal medical.
I went to see a CASA docter in auckland last time, that only costed me 150 for the visit. plus the beloved CASA fees.
Maybe shop around a bit next time?
cheers

The bloke who did those test called himself a neurocyciratist or someting like that.
Ah well at least i have an excuse
Its unreal hey, 750 an hour. I have to work whole day for that. lol
That hell is called Sydney. 
Now...i know it is an expensive place to live in but considering your class one is issued by CASA which is a goverment body with fees not negotiable, therefore after their fee of $150, damn sure you got a bargain.
Do not expect me to fly with you though because the rest of it sounds like a cheap bribe!
