How often do I need a Class 2 Medical?
Class 2 medicals are required every 5 years (under 40 years of age), every 2 years (40-49 years), and every year
(above the age of 50).
​
Do I need any other tests?​
​
Pilots require an Electrocardiogram (ECG) during their first medical after the age of 40 years old. Further ECGs are required every 2 years over the age of 50 years. Sometimes an ECG may require a Cardiologist to review it. We have established links with cardiologists across the region
​
An audiogram (hearing test) is only required if you intend to acquire an Instrument Rating (IR). If so, it is required during your initial issue of an IR then every 5 years (under the age of 40 years) and every 2 years (over the age of 40 years).
​
Pilots develop medical conditions like everyone else. The UK CAA / EASA may require some pilots to peruse an onward referral to a Consultant Specialist prior to obtaining a Medical Certificate. This can be arranged with a Specialist of your choice or via known Consultants to us.
​
The Medical requirements above are subject to change from the UK CAA / EASA.
