What is included?

An initial examination class 1 includes a number of different parts that you will go through.
  1. Examination carried out by a flight nurse which includes, vision test, color vision test, blood test, electrocardiography (test of the heart), lung function test and hearing test, etc.
  2. Examination carried out by flight doctors which includes review of your health history, physical examination and possibly targeted examinations.

  4. Examination carried out by aviation ophthalmologists with a thorough test of your vision and examination of the external and internal parts of the eyes. You may possibly be examined with eye drops, which cause you to have impaired vision for a few hours, which means that you are not allowed to drive a car after the examination.
  5. Assessment carried out by flight psychologist with a review of your mental health

The examination could be divided into two days. Only the first part can be booked. You can book the second part during your visit.

Please note

  • You must be fasting when you come for the examination. The reason is that we take a blood sample to analyze e.g. your blood lipids.

  • The various parts of the examination are spread over the first day of the examination and there may be some waiting time between each part.

  • The day ends with a review of your test results with the flight doctor who will also let you know if you have been approved. It is not possible to say in advance when you will finish the examinations, but please be aware the examinations could last till 19:00.
