11. Medical Examinations

Recreational: Minimum Category 4. A category 1 or 3 medical also validates a Recreational Pilot Permit.

Private: Minimum Category 3. A category 1 medical also validates a Private Pilot License.

Commercial: Minimum Category 1.

Category 1 and 3 medical examinations must be conducted by a Civil Aviation Medical Examiner (CAME.) Category 4 medical forms may be signed by any physician.

Pacific Flying Club has two (CAME) doctors on site. Appointments may be booked via their own offices:

Dr. Reg Harper (604) 581-3348
Dr. Lewis T. Herberts (604) 521-0197

The cost of a medical examination by the above two doctors is approximately $90 for a category 3 medical. Payments are to be made directly to the doctors and not to Pacific Flying Club. Please arrange to have the required payment (via cash or cheque) available upon your visit.

There are additional doctors in the Lower Mainland that may conduct aviation medical examinations. A list of these doctors is available at Dispatch. British Columbia Medical does not cover the cost of the aviation medical examination and students are advised to check the cost before booking with a CAME who may charge significantly more than the aforementioned $90.
