Dr McCaldin now a D.A.M.E

We are really excited to announce that Dr Charles McCaldin is Cairns' newest CASA approved Designated Aviation Medicine Examiner (DAME). Dr McCaldin has had a long affiliation with aviation. In addition to both his sons pursuing careers in aviation, Dr McCaldin is an enthusiastic member of the model aircraft community in Far North Queensland.

As the only DAME on the Northern Beaches area of Cairns we anticipate he will become very busy so call early to book your CASA aviation medical today on 07 4038 2777.
