DarkSarcasm Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I had some spare time today so called a couple of places nearby about the cost of a class 2 medical. One place was $209, the other two were $165 and $161. Are these good prices for a class 2 medical or should I keep calling around? I'd like some idea before I keep calling in case these are actually good prices for it - save my time and phonebills Or does anyone know of a place in Melbourne (city or eastern suburbs) that does them for a good price?

turboplanner Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 It's like the Monaco yachts - if you have to ask the price etc............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSarcasm Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 It's like the Monaco yachts - if you have to ask the price etc............. Whilst I can't afford a Monaco yacht (yet), I can afford a medical Since asking the price so far has saved me around $40, I figured I'd ask a bit further :big_grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Last time I paid $190.00 so sounds like you're on the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crezzi Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I think mine was around $180 last time (metro Brisbane). That didn't include the CASA processing fee though Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Lucky you. The nearest DAME to me is an hour and a half away next nearest hour and three quarters, so shopping around will have to be offset against transport costs and time spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSarcasm Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 U wont get much better than 160....no think....do it!! I'm going to once CASA send me my ARN (assuming they don't lose the application ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSarcasm Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Book yourself in now...CASA will catch up...BTW i didn't realise u had such big ears!! (avitar) Yes, it's an awfully good likeness, isn't it. The $165 place had times available a few days next week so I think I might need to let CASA get ahead otherwise I'll get to the medical and not have my ARN. I figure that between the $165 place and the $161 place I should be able to get an appt pretty soon after I get my ARN :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinm001 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Do your medical asap!!! and then tell me everything about it pls :P Need lots of helpful tips :-) I made the great decision of not getting medical yet, nearly ready to solo... so now to scared to go medical incase i fail... thus wasting quite abit of $$ so far (if i do fail) :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSarcasm Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 The main thing I'm worried about is being told I have to wear my specs to fly. But I don't need them to drive (or anything much really) so hopefully I won't need them to fly... drink heaps of water before u go.... pee test? dont use beroccas for at least 3 days beforehand... Don't use em anyways, so that's all good. (what do they actually do?) and do a 'powerwalk' 10 mins before u front up..... a last ditch attempt to get fit?

turboplanner Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Beroccas make your eyes bulge out. Better resign yourself on the eye test. If you require glasses to fly, it's mandatory to carry a second pair when flying - bit of a nuisance at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSarcasm Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm short sighted in one eye so the other one essentially corrects for it and I very rarely need to wear my specs, so hopefully I'm good enough to get over the line and not need to wear them when I fly. I don't need them when I fly now, surely it can't be that different just because the plane's a little bigger? *hopes* I made the great decision of not getting medical yet, nearly ready to solo... so now to scared to go medical incase i fail... thus wasting quite abit of $$ so far (if i do fail) :( I'd do it soon if I were you, the Crasha website claims it takes them 3 weeks to process a medical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you smoke heavily, drink heavily, take drugs, or suffer from some serious bodily issues, I'm sure you'll pass quite ok. If Can read a book or your computer screen, or the instructions on the back of a match box without to much difficulty, you should be fine. Just go do it! The hardest part is handing the money over...
