Which AMC are you referring to? The only reference to Medical that I can see is that 'Solo flight will not be permitted unless an appropriate Medical is held'.
A PPL cannot be issued unless the applicant is at least 17 years old. Would you, therefore, not test a candidate eg one week prior to their 17th birthday on grounds of age alone?
