Is this your first Medical?
If so you must have an Aviation Reference Number (ARN) before you can do the medical.

How Do I Get an ARN?
You may apply for an ARN on the CASA website.

What Class of Medical Certificate?
You need to decide based on what sort of flying/aircraft type you want to operate.

Student Pilots
Must have a minimum Basic or Class 2 before attempting solo flight.

Haven’t Done a Medical Recently?
If it’s more than 5 years past the expiry date on your last medical you will have to do an original again.

If you need a CASA medical done, whether for the first time, or, a renewal, you have come to the right place. We can do class 1,2 & 3 medicals, complete routine age related tests and arrange any additional referrals you may need.

Age Related Mandatory Tests

C1O & C3O
Tests required on the Initial issue of a medical certificate are:

• Resting Electrocardiogram (RECG)
• Audiogram
• Lipids & Glucose (fasting)*
• Specialist eye examination by a CASA Designated Aviation Ophthalmologist (DAO) or Credentialed Optometrist.

Tests required for medical certificate renewals are:

• RECGs — required at the first renewal after age 25, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 years of age. After 40, they are required annually.
• Audiograms — required at the first renewal after age 25 years then are required every fifth age birthday.

• Eye examination – required by a CASA Designated Aviation Ophthalmologist or Credentialed Optometrist at age 60 years every two years thereafter.

Class 2
There are no special requirements, unless clinically indicated.

Cardiovascular Risk Score (CRS)

• Is required by CASA to be calculated at certain times.
• Involves calculating a point score
• A score over 14 triggers a requirement for a stress ECG (SECG).
• It is based on large validated population data & uses various parameters including lipid levels & whether diabetic or not hence the need for fasting bloods periodically.

Other Aviation Medicals

  • Maximum take off wt MTOW of 8618kgs singe piston engine
  • Max 5 PAX Day VFR rules only below 10000ft in altitude
