Medical Requirements

NPPL (taken from the BMAA website)

For NPPL licences, you will need to hold a Pilot Medical Declaration which can be made on-line on the Civil Aviation Authority web site. A pilot who fulfils the criteria detailed in the CAA guidance can hold a declaration from the ages of 14 to 70, providing their medical fitness remains subject to said conditions. After their 70th birthday, a pilot must make a new declaration, and continue to do so, every 3 years from this point.

Pilots must use the CAA Customer Portal to access the Medical section of the CAA website. 

You can access the Portal login page here where you can also create an account.

Flying abroad. The UK Pilot Medical Declaration is only valid for flight within the UK. If you intend to fly outside the UK you must contact the National Aviation Authority of the country that you want to fly in and find out whether they will accept your UK declaration or not. We don’t list each country’s requirements on this website as they can change without notice and we don’t want to publish misleading information.

PPL

For UK Part-FCL licences, you will need to hold either a valid Class 1, 2 or LAPL medical certificate depending on which licence you will be applying for. For the training that Airbourne Aviation undertakes, a Class 2 medical will usually be sufficient, but please check what you will require if intending to progress in the future to a commercial licence.
