CAAC AVIATION MEDICAL

Most medical problems aren't medical.

They come from avoidable preparation mistakes — wrong document type at booking, a heavy meal the night before, hair gel on the day. Follow this and the medical is straightforward.

Step 1

Register on the official CAAC app

Do this before you book anything. Incorrect registration details may delay or invalidate your medical.

Download 民航监管

The official CAAC regulatory app used for pilot medical records. App Store ↗

Register your account

Use your own details exactly as they appear on your official documents.

Verify carefully

Even small discrepancies cause problems later. Ask HKPAPA staff to check before you finalise.

Check prerequisites

You need a mainland China mobile number and a valid Home Return Permit (回鄉證).

⚠ Before you finalise your account
  • A mainland China mobile phone number is required — a Hong Kong number will not work.
  • Your Home Return Permit (回鄉證) must be valid, not expired.
  • We strongly recommend having HKPAPA staff verify your details before you submit. Taking a few minutes now saves significant trouble later.
Ask HKPAPA to check my details
Step 2

Book your appointment

Booking is made directly through the designated hospital's official website.

🛑 Read carefully before submitting
  • Book 「申请合格证 A2」 — the A2 certificate class.
  • Change 「身份证」 to 「护照」 in the document type field.
  • Enter your Home Return Permit (回鄉證) number.
  • Do NOT enter your passport number.

Entering the wrong document type or number may result in your booking being rejected, or delays on the day of examination.

Preparation

The three days that decide your result

The aviation medical is straightforward if you prepare properly. Most issues arise not from health, but from avoidable mistakes.

3 days before

  • Eat light, regular mealsAvoid overeating or unusually heavy food.
  • No alcoholEven small amounts can affect test results.
  • Don't attend if unwellAvoid taking any medication unless medically necessary.

The day before

  • No strenuous exerciseAvoid heavy training entirely.
  • Do not eat after 8:00 pm
  • Drink water in moderationStay hydrated, but not so much that it disturbs your sleep.
  • Wash your hair before sleepingNo conditioner, hair gel or styling products.

On the day

  • Attend on an empty stomachDo not eat breakfast — some tests require fasting.
  • Arrive earlyExaminations run 07:30–11:00 only.
  • Bring your Home Return PermitThe document you booked with.
You may not need this at all

Holding a driving licence can exempt you

If you hold a valid driving licence, you may be exempt from the Class II medical requirement for a Sport Pilot Licence. Converting a Hong Kong licence to a mainland one is often faster than sitting the medical.

Not sure which document to enter?

Ask before you submit. A rejected booking costs weeks.
