Certificate issue
A medical certificate can be issued on the same day as the examination if all the standards are met. However, if the required standards are not met or further investigations are necessary before a decision on medical certification is possible then the issue of the certificate will take longer.
Revalidation
A medical certificate can be revalidated before it expires or renewed after it has expired. Revalidation and renewal examinations should take less time than those required for the initial issue and they may not require all the additional tests. This depends on when the last test was carried out, the type of certificate held, and your age at examination. You can revalidate a medical certificate by taking a revalidation examination at an Aeromedical Centre (AMC).
Decrease in Medical Fitness
If a certificate holder becomes aware of a decrease in their medical fitness due to injury or illness, which may render them unable to exercise the privileges of their license, or becomes aware that they are pregnant, they must inform their Aeromedical Examiner (AME).
