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

These are all done on line through their website which means they take a little longer to do. Please contact me for more details

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)
