How long does a pilot medical take?
Allow 30 minutes for a medical but a first issue can take longer. If you need any other tests then I may need some additional time, but I’ll let you know how long I need when you book.
What to bring to your examination
Please bring the following documents and information to your medical:
- Your passport or drivers license
- The transaction number from your CAA application payment – see CAA Online Payment
- A completed and unsigned CAA Medical Certificate Application form (pdf)
