Our Services
In March 2021 the CAA brought in the Cellma medical records system for pilots with UK-issued licences. Pilots who require a UK CAA medical must register on the CAA portal, fill out their application form online and pay the CAA submission fee (no fee for LAPL) that we previously collected on behalf of the CAA. This process can take a few days, therefore we advise pilots to attend to this in good time. Please see the CAA applicant guide for more information.
If you hold a PPL and your UK Class 2 medical certificate has a later LAPL expiry date then you may fly with LAPL privileges until that date, there is no need to advise the CAA. Self-declaration of medical fitness has been extended to pilots holding some UK licences. The CAA self-declaration form must be completed online via Cellma.
Dr Emma Ramsay has approval to perform medical examinations for pilots holding EU-issued licences (EASA medicals) under Transport Malta.
