Medical Reform CASA 2018 devil is in the detail
The devil is in the detail of CASA DAS announcement 28 Feb 18 regarding medical reform. Straight Class 2 – DAMEs to be 'educated' - could include ‘do not issue to someone under CASA Audit’, which is all pilots currently denied a Class 2; or if pilot has suffered a ‘stroke’ then DAME cannot issue and must be referred back to CASA Aviation Medicine Branch etc etc = extensive exclusions, as per RAMPC with 50+. Basic Class 2 – under Austroads, a restriction = subject to annual medical review; CASA could impose With Safety Pilot Only as their restriction, rather than annual medical review.
