UK Pilots Must Complete At Least 10 Days Before Their Aviation Medical Appointment

Medical certifications for pilots are not just about passing the health checks on the day. For a UK CAA Class 1 renewal, the CELLMA portal registration, online application, and CAA fee payment all have to be completed and cleared at least 10 days before the appointment. Leave it any later and the appointment cannot go ahead. The AME fee is still charged regardless.

This article covers the full CELLMA process step by step, why the 10-day rule is a firm requirement rather than a guideline, and what else to prepare before a Class 1 renewal appointment including photo ID, previous certificate, glasses and optician prescription.

The 45-day revalidation window is also covered, explaining how booking your Class 1 renewal early protects your existing certificate validity without losing any overlap time.
