pilot training while pregnant - in South Africa

[flyingmogul]

Before all the confusion of different regulations from far flung horizons begins... this is a south african post, about a south african student pilot, flying south african registered aircraft, in accordance with south african CAA.

The question is...
up until how many weeks is it legal and acceptable to continue flying training towards a PPL?

I'd love to hear the responses, from quotable references preferably...

Thanks all

Hi flyingmogul,

As far as the South African regulations are concerned, Part 67 - Medical Certification will apply here. in particular Part 67.00.09 (b) and (c).


Duties of holder of medical certificate
67.00.9 (1) The holder of a medical certificate shall –
(b) not under any circumstances act as a pilot-in-command, or in any other capacity as a flight crew member, an air traffic service personnel member or a cabin crew member, as the case may be –
(iii) if the holder has entered the thirtieth week of pregnancy;
(iv) if the holder has given birth in the preceding eight weeks;

(c) without undue delay, notify the designated body or institution of any –
(v) pregnancy;


I know this doesn't particularly apply to a PPL student, but this was all I could find with regards to fying whilst pregnant. The entire regulation is quite a large document and would be a little clumbsy to post here. If, however, you would like to read the entire document, just send me a PM.

Regards,

Prop Job
