In order for a Pilot or an Air Traffic Controller to exercise the privileges of their licence, they must hold a current medical certificate issued by a Designated Aviation Medical Examiner (DAME).

First time flyers
If you are starting out, there are no medical requirements for learning to fly, if with a flight instructor. However, if you are concerned about your medical history or current conditions, we suggest discussing with your flying school or contact us to make an appointment with Dr Andrew Morris to review your situation.
Commercial and private flyers
For all other commercial and private flyers, make an appointment with Dr Andrew Morris
and he can discuss the most appropriate medical certificate for your situation. It is recommended to obtain your medical certificate prior to paying for any aviation training.
