I think the whole medical requirement for private pilots is a complete nonsense. The RAA prove that medical exemptions have no adverse impacts on safety.

CASA would do better to educate and have pilots develop better relationships with the GP's to manage their health. The current process is more likely to create bad behaviours and poorer health outcome as pilots shy away from their GP's out of fear of jeopardising their Class 2.

It's about time CASA did something bold and sensible on the current AvMed requirements.
 


Martin Hone I totally agree. Having both RAA pilot certificate and PPL I have seen first hand the anomaly with the current situation. I wish SAAA success in their endeavour. Makes perfect sense. Pity about not being able to do aerobatics though.....
