Phivos Christofides

I am a commendation Graduate Doctor from Rostov On Don State Medical University, working since 1981 in Strovolos, Cyprus, as a Private Physician.

I also hold a Diploma in General Medicine Practice from the University of Surrey, Basic and Advanced courses in Aviation Medicine, PPL (Private Pilot License) and I am Authorised Medical Examiner for the Cyprus Department of Civil Aviation.

Since 1995, I teach new pilots the subject "Human Factors in Aviation", one of the necessary prerequisites for pilots to acquire a PPL.

I represent the Cyprus Airsports Federation (CAF) at CIMP (International Medico physiological Commission of the International Airsports Federation).

As of 2010, I was appointed by the Cyprus Sports Organisation as a member of the Highest Committee for the Health of Athletes.

Since May 2017, I have been appointed as Head AME of the Cyprus Aeromedical Centre.

Finally, I have special interest in the use of low-level laser therapy, which I use for therapeutic purposes since 1984. The past years I introduced to my practice a new photo therapy device, a 300mW LED.

I enjoy relaxing music, open mindsets, involving discussions, focused people, action and social movies, as well as documentaries and paranormal phenomena/UFO.

Cooking is one my favorite activities and very often you will find me in the kitchen preparing something delicious for my family or friends.

The Cyprus Aeromedical Centre (Cy AeMC 002) became a reality on the 19th of May 2017 and it is fully licensed by the Cyprus Department of Civil Aviation. On the 23rd of May 2017 the Centre was audited by EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) inspectors and successfully passed the audit with no findings.

CY AeMC’s immediate scope is to act as the top one-stop-shop facility in Aviation Medicine in Cyprus offering Initial Class 1, 2 and 3, Revalidation/Renewal Class 1, 2, 3 Medical Certificate and EASA Cabin Crew Report.

Cy AeMC will offer the initial Class 1 for Professional Pilots, eliminating the need for prospective pilots to travel abroad for this essential examination.

CY AeMC has a vision to act as:

• A top facility on Aviation Medicine in Cyprus offering medical certifications,
• The referral point for aviation medicine for local airlines and aviation schools,
• The referral point for questions regarding aviation medicine and human factors in aviation,
• The basis of research in aviation medicine in Cyprus,
• The common ground for discussion and training of all AMEs in Cyprus,
• The facility for GP services for airline and airport employees.

The Cyprus Aeromedical Centre 002 is a joint venture of two well-known Aeromedical Examiners, Dr. Phivos Christofides as the Head of the Aeromedical Centre and Dr. George Athanasiou as the AME of the Centre.
