Clarity on when a specialist psychiatric review is part of your medical certification journey.
Not all licence applicants require a specialist psychiatric assessment. Your Aeromedical Examiner (AME) conducts the initial mental health screening. This typically involves evaluating aspects such as:
If your AME determines that a more detailed psychiatric evaluation is necessary to satisfy regulatory requirements, you may be asked to arrange a specialist assessment. This is where Aviation Mental Health Services can assist.
It is your responsibility as the licence applicant to arrange and fund this assessment. Your contract will be with Aviation Mental Health Services for the production of a comprehensive report. This report is then provided to you to share with your AME. With your explicit consent, we can also send the report directly to your AME.
Aviation Mental Health Services, under the clinical leadership of Dr. James Woolley (Consultant Psychiatrist, FRCP, FRCPsych), provides specialist psychiatric assessments for aviation professionals.
Dr. Woolley is a trained and recognised aviation psychiatrist with extensive experience reviewing professionals at the request of AMEs or regulatory bodies like the CAA for licence suitability. As an ex-pilot, he possesses a unique understanding of the regulatory landscape, operational demands, and time pressures inherent in the aviation industry.
We produce detailed reports and guidance in a format designed to assist AMEs and regulatory authorities (e.g., CAA, EASA, FAA) in their decision-making processes as straightforwardly as possible. Reports are generally completed within 7 days of your assessment.
Assessments are typically conducted via secure video consultation, offering convenience and accessibility. We work closely with AMEs across all UK Aeromedical Centres, including Centreline. If follow-up reviews are required as a condition of licensing, these can also be arranged.
