AEROMEDICAL EXAMINER (AME) CERTIFICATION TRAINING
Doctors seeking UK Civil Aviation Authority approval as AMEs can undergo practical training at Birmingham AeMC in support of their AME application.
AMEs are doctors with specialist aviation medicine training. They are certificated by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to carry out aircrew and Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) medical examinations and to give aviation medicine advice, as necessary.
The CAA has outlined its criteria for AME approval and the final stage is for the aspiring AME to complete 5 days of Mandatory Training at an AeMC before AME approval can be granted.
Before arranging this training, the AME MUST obtain a confirmatory letter from the CAA and attach send this to Birmingham AeMC when they schedule training.
The CAA’ s criteria for AME approval can be found here: https://www.caa.co.uk/aeromedical-examiners/certification-training-and-policy/guidance-on-ame-certification/
