NATS has become the UK’s only provider of initial commercial pilot and air traffic control medicals outside of the CAA, after gaining Aeromedical Centre status.
As an Aeromedical Centre, NATS doctors can now perform initial medical examinations for controllers and initial commercial pilot (EASA Class 1) certification.
NATS is offering these services to other aviation companies, including controllers at non-NATS airports, commercial airlines and to individual pilots.
NATS’ Aeromedical Centre has already performed initial Class 1 medicals for trainee commercial pilots from as far afield as Libya and Mauritius.
John Roberts, NATS Chief Medical Officer, said, “We have an excellent and experienced medical team and our well-equipped facility at Swanwick is approved for the initial medical examinations. We also perform renewal medicals at 15 of the UK’s main airports so we can provide continuity of care thereafter. We are now in a position to offer our services to third parties and hope they will benefit from our excellent service delivery.”
