The health of air crew and air traffic controllers is an important component of aviation safety. It is therefore a requirement of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) that pilots and air traffic controllers meet certain medical standards and hold a current medical certificate.
Dr Arun Singla is an CASA approved Designated Aviation Medical Examiner (DAME) and can provide Class 1, 2 and 3 aviation medicals for pilots and trainee pilots, air-traffic controllers and flying instructors. He keeps himself up to date by actively participating in CASA medical grand rounds , CME meeting for ongoing education in the field of aviation medicine.
CASA issues three types of medical certificates. Each class of medical certificate also has a medical standard set out in tables in Part 67 of the CASR
Aviation Medical Certificate – Class 1
This medical standard applies to holders of Class 1 medical certificate to exercise their privileges of a:
- air transport pilot licence
- commercial pilot licence (other than balloons)

- Commercial and air transport pilot licence holders can perform some operations with a Class 2 medical certificate. Learn more about Class 2 medical certificates.

Class 1 medical certificate validity
A Class 1 medical certificate is valid for one year unless otherwise advised. We generally grant a Class 2 certificate at the same time as a Class 1. A Class 2 certificate may be valid for longer
