| From the website:
I am UK CAA and EASA Class 1 aeromedical examiner (AME), authorised to issue UK CAA and EASA medical certificates.
I can perform your medical at North Tees Hospital, Stockton on Tees.
I’ve been a PPL holder for 20 years and have an elderly but beautiful Mooney based at Teesside Airport. Before that (and with much help!) I completed the build on (and flew) a Europa from Fishburn Airfield.
As a pilot myself, I know what you’re going through at medical time. I’m balanced and easy going. I won’t find problems where none exist. I want to keep you flying / controlling safely.
As a UK CAA and EASA Class 1, 2, 3, LAPL, and Cabin Crew medicals I serve Pilots, Controllers, Cabin Crew and Parachutists with:
ATPL and CPL licenses (UK CAA Class 1 medical and EASA Class 1 medical)
ATCO Licenses (UK CAA Class 3 medical and EASA Class 3 medical)
PPL, LAPL and NPPL licenses (UK CAA Class 2 and LAPL medical and EASA Class 2 and LAPL medical)
Cabin Crew (UK CAA Cabin crew medical and EASA Cabin crew medical)
Airside Driver Medicals
