Aeromedical Examination according CASA

Holders of an Australian pilot's license can also receive an examination for a CASA Medical (Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australian Governments) at our medical center. The proof of accreditation can be found here.

An aero-medical aptitude test takes (depending on the scope of the medical examination) about 60-90 minutes and includes the following elements:

• medical history
• physical examination
• urinalysis
• vision tests
• any additional required tests (e.g. blood tests, resting ECG, lung function test, audiometry (hearing test)

It is currently not possible to book an appointment online for an aeromedical examination according to CASA on our website. We therefore ask you to contact us by phone to make an appointment.

For examination appointment, please bring with you the following documents:

1. valid ID card (ID card) or passport
2. newest eyeglasses prescription - not older than 2 years (if you must wear glasses or corrective lenses)
3. last " Medical" (if available)
4. Pilot license or license number (if available)

Please remember that you have to give a urine sample and therefore should not go to the bathroom just before the appointment.

As a medical examination center, we also want that you get your "Medical". If you have health problems, we are searching for an acceptable solution remaining within the legal context. Therefore, it is important that you bring along all relevant documentation (e.g. doctor or hospital reports) when you come to the appointment. In this context, we precautionary would like to remind you that you are not allowed to exercise the privileges of your license and related ratings of certificates at any time whenever you:

• are aware of any decrease in your medical fitness that might render you unable to safely exercise those privileges
• take or use any prescribed or non-prescribed medication that is likely to interfere with the safe exercise of the privileges of the applicable license; or
• receive any medical, surgical or other treatment that is likely to interfere with flight safety

In addition, you have to seek aeromedical advice, without undue delay, when you: 

1. have undergone a surgical operation or invasive procedure
2. have commenced the regular use of any medication
3. have suffered any significant personal injury involving incapacity to perform safely the privileges of your license
4. have been suffering from any significant illness involving incapacity to perform safely the privileges of your license
5. are pregnant
6. have been admitted to a hospital or a medical clinic, or
7. first require corrective lenses

Finally, we have a few tips for you to prepare for the examination:

Please...

• avoid drinking coffee or smoking cigarettes just before the appointment (possible increase of blood pressure)
• do not take any stimulants or tranquilizers
• bring all normal visual aids with you. Please note that contact lens wearers always need equivalent glasses (no optical sunglasses)

Thank you!
