Cabin Crew Aviation FAQ

Cabin crew usually need a medical assessment before operating, but in many systems this is documented as a cabin crew medical report rather than a pilot-style medical certificate.

1. Purpose: The assessment checks whether the crew member is fit to perform safety duties and is not likely to be incapacitated during work.
2. EASA wording: Cabin crew medical reports record whether the person has been assessed fit or unfit and may include limitations.
3. Regional differences: The format, validity period and examiner route can vary between authorities and airlines.

If you are applying across borders, confirm whether the airline needs an EASA, UK CAA or other authority-recognised medical document.
