Meet safe medical standards

If there are no special circumstances (medical indications), the aero-medical examiner can issue the medical certificate immediately after approval. If you do not fully meet the set requirements, the doctor (possibly in consultation with the ILT) will assess whether you can perform your activities, after receiving information about your condition, check-ups with your specialist and use of permitted medication. The examining physician can then issue you the medical certificate with a restriction. You need a medical certificate to fly a recreational aircraft or a commercial balloon independently.
