MEDICAL CHECK FOR SKYDIVING

All jumps in Italy require medical fitness. Licensed jumpers and AFF students must obtain the ENAC Class 2 certificate from an AME physician; for tandem the rule is simpler.

HOW IT WORKS (CLASS 2)

1

Find an AME

AME = Aeromedical Examiner. Only ENAC-certified physicians can issue fitness certificates. Official list on the ENAC website (Aeronautical Medicine section).

2

Book the visit

Call the AME office. Waiting times vary by region (1–4 weeks). Bring ID, health card, any previous medical reports.

3

Perform the exams

General physical examination, blood pressure, vision, hearing, resting ECG. For Class 2 also spirometry. Duration: ~45–60 minutes.

4

Receive the certificate

If fit, immediate issue of the certificate (paper + digital). In case of doubt, additional tests or specialist opinion.

⚠️

Warning — expired medical = unauthorized jump

With an expired certificate the school denies manifest. No grace period: check the date and renew 30+ days in advance. Some conditions (heart, epilepsy, unstable diabetes) require additional specialist assessment.

FIRST TANDEM JUMP?

For tandem you don't need Class 2 ENAC. Just a self-declaration of good health signed on jump day.
