Look at it from CASA’s perspective; they are trying to give you ‘self certification” that isn’t.
The key was the use of total weasel language in their work plan’’
1. healthy pilots sometimes get caught in complex and cumbersome regulatory processes that offer little safety benefit
2. (investigate) the potentialintroduction of a self-declared pilot medical pathway for private/recreational operations.
This is code for creating a deliberately useless certificate because it will contain an impossible standard of proof of “health” such that a hangnail five years ago renders you ineligible. This is the same trick they pulled with the basic class 2 - requiring a GP to certify unconditionally that you were OK. No GP with an eye on their insurance policy would touch it.
Health is another meaningless word like. ‘’safety”. Health - compared to what?
