A medical certificate is required for anyone who wants to exercise the privileges of being a pilot. The reason is to make sure each person is mentally and physically fit to be responsible for the aircraft, passenger or cargo that they will be flying.
The mandatory medical examination is conducted by an approved aeromedical centre. It will evaluate your physical fitness, check for any medical conditions, and determine how this and any associated treatment may affect the safety of your pilot duties. There is also a psychological examination to determine that you are mentally fit for the job. If you pass the examination, you will receive a medical certificate from the national civil aviation authority.
There are two aeromedical centres in Sweden you can get the medical examination required before starting the course. When you are accepted to our ATPL program, we will help you schedule the medical examination.
