Medicals

Which one?

There are 3 classes of medical we mainly deal with.

Class 1- required for commercial pilots. (valid for 12 months)

Class 2- Most common. Required for PPL and RPL.

Both of these medicals must be issued by a DAME (Designated Aviation Medical Examiner)

https://pilotmedicalsaustralia.com.au/ will put you in touch with Dr John who makes a monthly trip to Moruya to conduct medicals at Merit Aviation.

Basic Class 2- Can be issued by a wider range of doctors, but does have limitations such as day VFR below 10,000ft with a maximum of 5 passengers.
