JAR-FCL 3 (Medical) Training Course

€ 1275.00

JAR-FCL 3 – the medical requirements for aircrew - have been adopted in 2003 and been implemented in the JAA member states ever since. The requirements are base for all those in aviation medicine throughout Europe and will remain so most probably for the next four to five years, until the EASA requirements - basically consisting of the same rules transposed into the EU format – will be implemented.

The course gives a comprehensive introduction into the requirements. Furthermore, a comprehensive introduction into the whole range of aviation medicine is given; “hot issues” of international aviation medicine will be discussed as well. The future EASA implementing rules and the future of European aviation medicine will be introduced. A lot of examples from practical aviation medicine will be presented and discussed by the participants. 

The course is interactive and not only feasible for medical personnel, but also pilots, Authorities and industry. Pre-JAR-AMEs, General Medical Practitioners and other medical specialists may use the course as required training to become authorised to practice aviation medicine within the appropriate remits.
