Private Certificates
If you fly for fun only then you will need a Class 2 certificate. If you intend to get an Instrument Rating then you will need an audiogram as well; otherwise this is not normally required unless you have hearing problems. Skydive Instructors also need to get a Class 2 certificate (audiogram not required)
To obtain a Class 2 certificate there are different requirements for initial (first) or renewal certificates. Those with an asterisk I can perform; the others I can help arrange. For details re timing of tests ie age that they are due, click here

Details re the Making an appointment
Ring me or email re to make an appointment. I can then discuss:
- what to bring (e.g. photo identification is required if I have not previously examined you for an aviation certificate; glasses & contacts)
- where to go (Whangarei, Kerikeri) and provide directions to the address
- pre-arrange some of the tests (eg bloods, audiogram) if there is some urgency in completing the examination/assessment
Extending a Certificate
If your certificate is nearing the expiry date, and providing there are no new medical issues, then it is possible to extend your certificate for a maximum of two months (see FAQ for more details)
