A common framework, national authorities
Medical requirements for pilots are set out in Annex IV (Part-MED) to Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 on aircrew. They are supplemented by Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) published by EASA.
Implementation — approval of centres, certification of examiners, oversight, assessment of referred cases — is the responsibility of each Member State's competent authority.
