Medical eligibility is an important part of planning flight training. Australian requirements depend on the licence, activity and operating privileges involved, so do not rely on overseas guidance or another student’s experience.
Get advice early
Before committing substantial money to flying, check CASA’s current aviation medical guidance. Your flight school can help you identify the appropriate pathway, and a designated aviation medical examiner can advise where an examination or individual assessment is needed.
Keep individual decisions individual
A condition or medication may need specific assessment; neither an online article nor a theory provider can determine your fitness to fly. Obtain advice from the appropriate medical professional and confirm the requirements before solo flight or exercising licence privileges.
You can explore aviation theory while investigating your training options. View the courses; for medical eligibility questions, use CASA and qualified aviation medical advice rather than the course enquiry form.
