Thanks Mach E Avelli,
I called NZ CAA , and got the full details. I was wondering if they accepted any foreign medicals.
Canada accepts foreign medicals for "consideration" and providing it passes their review
a medical certificate is issued. For that reason, I do my medical in the US , get the Canadian
medical form filed in, send the original signed copy in by Snail Mail. But as you know
Australia and New Zealand do not provide that courtesy.
The good news is most of the NZ ME's are also CASA ME's but not all.
There is one in Brisbane who does Aus, NZ and FAA.
NZ has only one ME in North America, in Arizona, a long way for me to go at the moment.
Like the other posters, if CASA are engaging in inappropriate age discrimination,
I will want to have alternatives.
Now, When do CASA demand this sleep testing?
What triggers that, is it age alone?
Is it because you report difficulty in sleeping?
Is this at test that they only apply to geriatric pilots?
