GET THE MEDICAL CERTIFICATE
The student pilot will undergo several routine-based medical examinations. These tests include: blood and urine tests, eye vision and physiological tests. The examinations and evaluations will be conducted by certified aviation Aero-Medical Physicians. You will need to visit the 251 Hellenic Air Force Aeromedical Center (K.A.I.) GR AMC 16001 in order to complete your medical test. The student pilot must book an appointment on Tuesdays or Thursdays, in order to complete the test. The procedure may take up to five (5) hours and the medical certificate is issued on the same day. Certificate issue: If all standards are met, then the student can proceed to the second stage of the assessment. However, if the required standards are not met, then the process may take longer since the doctors with HCAA’s cooperation will need to investigate the medical results more thoroughly. It is possible that an application for a medical certificate can be denied. In that case, you will be allowed to re-apply after a certain period of time (if, for example, the medical condition is curable and improves). Validity Period: A class Medical Certificate is valid for at least one (1) year. At least one month prior to its expiration, the student pilot must revalidate his or her medical certificate to a doctor specialized in aviation medicine.
