I saw it as CASA guarding their arse, I'm tipping they can't just say "Bloggs has just been diagnosed with a disorder but it should be ok." Perhaps I was foolish in taking part in an exercise like this but at the time I was comfortable with what was being asked on that assessment form and that it didn't ask me to do any sort of medical judgement.

I guess I'm in a severe minority here and that the majority of instructors would say to this fellow, "yeah/nah" ?
Ah. I see the 'disconnect'.

I might have missed the bit where you said you were not asked to fill out Form 420 - the form discussed at length in this thread - and were instead asked to fill out a different form. If I did miss that, my apologies.
