Few flying instructors are healthcare professionals. Which is why I refused to fill it in. I don't expect a clinical psychologist to be able to teach someone to fly, after all.
Exactly. I added comments in same vein when I tried to negotiate 420. My argument with CASA revolves around the words ' competency based training ' as used around Part 61 and the pedantic MOS that trails it. Whats really important is whether the pilot is competent and safe to achieve the requirements of their category of licence. The nuts and bolts of the condition of ' autism ' need redefinition by a top panel of medicos - certainly not Avmed alone.
