How would I know if the Specialist Medical Report I am submitting is acceptable to Civil Aviation Medical Board (CAMB)?

Any Medical Report that is submitted to CAAS forms the legal evidence on which your Medical Assessment is determined. Hence, the CAAS will not accept reports that are lacking in pertinent information for the Medical Assessment. Do communicate the following guidelines to your treating physician to ensure that the report adheres to them:

• If a current/latest medical/investigation report is required, it has to be dated within 90 days prior to submission. Older reports can be submitted for the purpose of providing historical information about your condition.

• Handwritten reports are acceptable only if they are legible and contains proofs of authenticity, e.g. clinic stamp, physician stamp, physician MCR number, clinic address, etc.

• The medical report is to contain adequate details on the following:
  

  • Comprehensive information (clinical and investigations) during presentation of condition, subsequent progress and trend, and latest status of the medical condition.

  • The treatment and/or surgical procedures administered for the condition

  • Current medications, therapy and follow up plan.

  • Comments on prognosis or risk of incapacitating events due to the primary condition

• The medical report is not to contain any opinion of your aeromedical fitness unless the treating physician is accredited as an Aviation Medicine Physician in the Specialist Registry of the Ministry of Health.
