What are the medical requirements for pilots?

Securing the appropriate level of medical certification is the first official step in becoming a pilot, so it is important to attend the exam in your top physical and mental condition. You will go through a series of tests for your hearing, eyesight, coordination, and overall health. Those seeking an ATPL or a CPL must obtain Category 1 medical certification, while those seeking a PPL may obtain Category 3 medical certification. A key misconception is you can't become a pilot if you're colour blind, but this isn't true. If you pass the Pseudoisochromatic Plates Colour Vision Test or the Farnsworth Lantern Test by identifying different shapes and letters, you are qualified to become a pilot. Test yourself below.
