AERONAUTICAL MEDICINE

Initial Examination: After a thorough examination, which, depending on the license level and the pilot's age, may include tests such as an audiogram or electrocardiogram, the physician sends the medical report to Transport Canada. Transport Canada has sole discretion to determine the validity of the license. The license will be mailed directly by Transport Canada to your address or to the address of your flight school in Canada. This process can take up to one month. Renewal Examination: The examination and its specifications depend on the applicant's age and health. The applicant receives a physical license, which the physician stamps and signs for renewal. Note: North American licenses are, in some respects, more flexible than JAR licenses, for example, in the area of ophthalmology. However, this does not mean that there are no specific procedures. The authorities may request medical examinations that would not be routinely required for your health. The principle of "no response, no license" is strictly enforced. It is not for the approved doctor to take a position on these requests; they are imperative.

CLASS 2 (Private Pilot) and LAPL (Light Aircraft Pilot Licence): The initial examination can be conducted by an AME (Medical Examination for Aircrew), Dr. Frédéric VILLARD, at the CGEMPN at the CMMA. Documents to bring: Proof of identity; eye prescription if you wear glasses or contact lenses; medical documents if you suffer from a chronic condition such as diabetes; hospital discharge summaries and surgical reports if you have undergone major medical or surgical procedures. EASA RENEWAL (JAR): For classes 1, 2, 3, and LAPL, the EASA physician is authorized to perform all types of examinations for renewals. When you come to the CMMA for a CGEMPN medical examination, we will ask you to present your pilot's license and current medical certificate. You will need to inform us of the number of flight hours logged since your last medical examination, as well as the total number of hours. If you wear glasses and this is your first visit to our center, you will need the documents corresponding to your prescription. Types of examinations we perform at the CGEMPN include ECG, audiogram, blood tests, spirometry, X-rays, etc.
