Aeromedical Center

What Aeromedical Center does

Aeromedical Center (ACG Aeromedical Center Germany GmbH, legally Medical Airport Service GmbH) is a specialty aviation medical examination practice located at Stuttgart Airport in Filderstadt, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It operates as an EASA-approved Aero Medical Center (AeMC) under direct supervision of the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt and the Bundesaufsichtsamt für Flugsicherung (BAF), authorized to conduct initial Class 1 medical examinations for commercial pilots, Class 3 examinations for air traffic controllers, and cabin crew medicals under EU Regulation 1178/2011. The center also issues Class 2 and LAPL certificates for private pilots and FAA First/Second/Third Class medicals for US-bound pilots, and provides occupational medicine services covering all DGUV principles including G35 overseas work assessments.

The clinical offering is delivered by a 20-person team led by Medical Director Dr. med. Roland Quast (EASA Aviation Examiner Medical Expert, FAA Senior Medical Examiner) with board-certified subspecialists in cardiology, ophthalmology, ENT, and anesthesiology. The center distinguishes itself technologically through the CAD-Test (Colour Assessment and Diagnosis) developed by Prof. Barbur of the University of London, which performs computer-based color vision screening in under one minute and full diagnostics in nine minutes, recognized internationally by EASA, Luftfahrt-Bundesamt, FAA, and Transport for London. Examination data is transmitted to the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt via the mandatory EMPIC system, with the center using Q-MED AERO for automated form population and Doctolib for online appointment booking.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model with regulated, per-examination fees for medical certificates and occupational medicine assessments. Customers access services via online booking (Doctolib, QMed Support) or direct phone contact, with all examinations conducted on-site at the Stuttgart Airport facility. The center is privately held under Medical Airport Service GmbH (Amtsgericht Darmstadt HRB 84003), managed by Thomas Barth, Bernd Engel, and Dr. Annegret Schumacher, with no disclosed external investment or institutional ownership.
