"Class 1 Medical"
07-08-02, 11:40z 

Hiya All

Some of you may know that after I've finished my Univeristy course, and if I can get sponsorship with an airline, I want to train to become a Commercial Pilot.

In the UK (According to my current CAA Medical Certificate) there are 3 Class's of Medical Certificate, Class 1, 2, and 3, I currently hold a Class 2 which expires in 2005. I was just wondering what are the expectations of fitness for a Class 1 Certificate, do I need to be super fit for the airlines to take me? I am fairly fit, 1.9 Meters in height, and about 160 Pounds in weight.

Any Advice/Help on this would be v.helpful :)

Greetings Sam:

I don't know if the CAA standards are different or not, but you might want to have a look at the FAA's requirements for a Class 1 at http://www.flightphysical.com/

Click the Medical Standards link on the left and then the Class One Requirements link.

Hope this helps!

Ben

Ahh thats a relief, the sight standards are the same for Class 2 as a Class 1 - I had an operation on my left eye whe I was born, it only affected the sight v.slightly but I think if I can pass a Class 2, Class 1 does seem too difficult!

That's good news, Sam. However, you make it sound like studying for a urine test! :)
Good luck and send us some pix when you start flying again!

Hi Ben,

Over here, the urine test and eyesight test are combined - if you can see AND fill the bottle from across the room, you pass both!
