I examine and issue a Medical Report for a flight attendant. I strive for a sensitive and professional approach so that the examination is not stressful or unpleasant. I emphasize a friendly environment and try to have an open conversation. The examination by the aeromedical examiner is to assure the cabin crew that their health condition allows them to perform reliably in order to maintain the safety of the passengers. Another goal of the medical examination is also to recommend to the aviator the treatment of chronic diseases with such drugs so that they are not a risk when working on board and when dealing with crisis situations in the cabin during the flight. Thanks to advances in medical science, almost anyone can become a flight attendant. The overall success rate in the examination and obtaining the Medical Report is over 99%, it corresponds to world standards and therefore there is no reason to fear the examination. In modern aviation medicine, we no longer look for medical reasons why not to fly, but look for ways to enable you to fly.
What is the procedure of the medical exam?
- I make an appointment for an examination at a specific hour and make an appointment throughout the day. It is not necessary to come early in the morning, but at the agreed hour.
- I carefully ensure that patients do not wait for me and I keep to the appointment time.
- The examination in my outpatient clinic takes about 60 minutes, during which I constantly attend to you.
- I issue the medical report for the flight attendant immediately after the examination.
- It is not necessary to come on an empty stomach.

- I can renew or reissue an expired Cabin Crew Medical Report at any time.
What medical tests do I perform to obtain a Cabin Crew Medical Report?
