Medical Certificate

The Civil Aviation Authority of Israel has revised its medical certificate format for pilots to align with international regulations. Current pilots can use either the old or new format of the certificate until their renewal or issuance of a new one.

Key points

• The new medical certificate format is aligned with Annex 1 of the Chicago Convention.
• There is a transition period allowing the use of both the old and new certificate formats.
• The old format includes signatures, while the new format does not.
• Pilots must update to the new format upon the renewal of their medical certificates.
