What do you need and who is doing the examinations?!

The roots of aviation medicine in Romania were discovered in 1913. The year when Dr. Victor Anastasiu became our country’s first doctor with a pilot license and the founder of aviation medicine. More than 10.000 pilots coming to “Dracula” country annually to perform their medical examinations. A pilot’s class 1 revalidation medical examination takes approximately 45 minutes. The renewal is about 1 hour. It’s not necessary to fast before the test.

The medical examination for a class 1 pilot starts with the digital submission or completion of the application form.

Aeromedical Examiners (AMEs) are doctors with specialist aviation medicine training. They are certificated by the National Aviation Authority (NAA) to carry out aircrew and air traffic controller medical examinations. Romanian Civil Aviation Authority is a member of the European Aviation Safety Agency. Our aeromedical examiners are authorized under the European civil aviation regulations – 1178/2011 and R 340/2015. The medical certificates issued by them are recognized in all EASA member states.
