[paulgerrard2k]

How much to people normally pay for a class 1 medical renewal? Just the basic examination without ECG etc..

not sure about that . . . . . .

my 6 month 'old gimmer' Class 1 renewal yesterday at Shoreham (no ECG)

I'm really puzzled by that . . . . . .

How can a Class 1 medical be a 6 monthly one, yet not include an ECG ?

Perhaps I have misunderstood !

Straight Class 1 renewal here (no extras) is £121. Then add VAT it becomes £142.18

Class 1 medical for those over 40 is every six months but the ECG is annual; that's how!! Also, some people get the ECG carried out by a different doctor to the one who does the Class 1 renewal.

Mine last cost £125 (no VAT).

Cheers

mea culpa . . . . . . !

Class 1 medical for those over 40 is every six months but the ECG is annual

Yes, sorry ! If it's public transport, and single-pilot, then that's quite right !
Just shows I'm perhaps more used to F/W airline ops, which are all multi-crew !

ECG every 6 months over a certain age, can't remember what is is but I passed it a long time ago and have had them every 6 months for years.

ECG frequency . . . . . . . .

ECG every 6 months over a certain age

That's when over age 50. BUT from 50-59 yrs the class 1 (and therefore also the ECG) is only every 12 months if you operate multi-crew. As I said before, probably much commoner in F/W airline crews.

£125 last week at NCL.
