NT5224 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Hi folks just getting a CASA medical certificate for the first time and would appreciate some guidance. Im going for a basic medical that allows me more than 2 passengers in a light aircraft, non commercial. I’m guessing that’s basic class 2. From my understanding all I need to do for this category is download and fill in the form, get my quack to sign it. But then what happens? It says the form is retained by the GP. So how do CASA get it? None of this is clear from the CASA webpage or the form and I’ve already been on the phone with them on another matter... cheers Alan
KRviator Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I did mine not long back, and it's basically an online thing. You go online, put your and your quacks details in, print the form, take it to your GP & get signed off, go back online to say you've been signed off, pay your $10, and then print the PDF medical certificate that the website will generate. 1

Thanks for clarifying that! Shame it doesnt seem to say any of that online on their webpages Alan
old man emu Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Shame it doesnt seem to say any of that online on their webpages Yeah. What's the link to the medical questionnaire? I've got to do my annual Ausroads medical next month and it would be good to kill two birds with one stone.
Downunder Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 If I wanted just 2 people for RPL with CTA endorsement, what would be the best?
KRviator Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Yeah. What's the link to the medical questionnaire? I've got to do my annual Ausroads medical next month and it would be good to kill two birds with one stone. IIRC, you have to log in to the CAsA MRS to get to the questionnaire, as it becomes pre-filled with your personal details to take to your GP. If I wanted just 2 people for RPL with CTA endorsement, what would be the best? The Basic Class 2. That's (same kind of flying) all I'll be doing initially, then stepping up to the standard Class 2 for the PIFR. 1
old man emu Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I got my licence way back when. Is my licence number now my ARN? How can I find out?
facthunter Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Ring up CASA. or go on their website. You may have to quote your ARN to enter (What's new). Your original licence probably was replaced with a new number.. The OLD numbers reflected the number of your licence type was from the beginning of records. In my case Student licence Low 20,000 PPL 11500s CPL 5,000's next is in the 1500's Later ones (Licences) are all the same number and appear to have no particular form 015xxx but coincidently is only 200 from My RAAus Cert. number.

kgwilson Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I don't think there is much of a verification system. Years ago when coming to Australia I had a NZ PPL & joined RA-Aus as a student member. I needed something (can't remember what it was) but I had to register with my ARN number which I didn't have so I put in my RA-Aus membership number & it accepted it & that has been my ARN number ever since.
Kyle Communications Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 You need to have your CASA number before you can do anything online with CASA. I dont remember getting one back in the mid 90's but I had one....I didnt have a email address back then and neither did most but you need it now. So once I rang CASA they told me my number from my name and address then gave them my email and everything now works fine...just need that number or you cant do anything....like most things nowdays
Yenn Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Old licence numbers are not the same as the ARN. It is not difficult to get an ARN, just go to CASA site and apply. I am getting a class 2 Basic medical, quite easy on line except that I do not have a mobile number registered with them. I followed the checklist and did what the site required, but came unstuck when I couldn't fill in the SMS number. A phone call to CASA and they gave me the number and I managed to do the download of the questionnaire. Now I wait for my medical appointment.
old man emu Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Can you look for your ARN on the CASA site? I may have been issued with one when I did the DAMP Supervisors' Course.
pmccarthy Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 My license number issued 1970 is still my ARN despite gaps of years. It’s worth asking.
old man emu Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 From here: https://www.casa.gov.au/licences-and-certification/standard-page/aviation-reference-number-frequently-asked-questions If you applied for your ARN after 2 July 2018 you can check the number of your ARN by logging into our ARN online application portal. If you got your ARN before 2 July 2018, you can email us at [email protected] to ask us to provide you with your ARN.
