Hey all,
I just called in to get my medical re-booked since it expires on January 1st. The front desk lady told me I could renew it over the phone...to which I replied with obvious confusion. She said that's how it works with Cat 1 renewals, and that the doc could call me if I had anymore questions on how that works. My guess would be this is somehow related to COVID, but she didn't mention anything about that. Long story short, I have the medical booked for over the phone this Wednesday. While I wait for the doc to call, have any of you heard of this or done this? What's it like? Yes, I still need to pay the $180...
I did a quick google search and I found a page which supposedly outlines "Changes to civil aviation medical examinations", but of course the page is down for me so I can't even read it.
Thanks.

Re: Medical over the phone?
Renewal of a medical certificate by attestation of fitness and Renewal of a medical certificate via telemedicine consultation
If that applies to you, then fill out the form in Appendix A, print a copy for your licence book and email another copy to TC. Save the $180. But if you have a limitation or restriction in Appendix B or have had one or more of the things listed in section 3 of the form, you will need to do the phone call.1. The renewal by attestation of fitness shall only be applied to a medical certificate if the following conditions are met:
a) The medical certificate does not bear any limitation or restriction set out in Appendix B of this document; and
b) The health status of the holder of the medical certificate has not changed since his or her preceding medical examination.

Re: Medical over the phone?
Thanks. Don’t have any limitations as far as I know. Was never told during any of my medicals and I would imagine the limitation would be written on the certificate sticker in my book or on the stamp. I was just told by the lady at the front desk that “the doc will call you on Wednesday at 3pm”.Pratt X 3 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:19 pm Renewal of a medical certificate by attestation of fitness and Renewal of a medical certificate via telemedicine consultationIf that applies to you, then fill out the form in Appendix A, print a copy for your licence book and email another copy to TC.

Re: Medical over the phone?
Yup, just checked and “Limitations: None” on the sticker.
