So, does this really mean that you can ignore any disqualifying condition/s and self declare providing you do not fly an aircraft over 2000kg MTOW?
No it doesn't mean that. You must also comply with the following.
A person must not act as the member of the flight crew of an aircraft registered in the UK if they know or suspect their physical or mental condition renders them temporarily or permanently unfit to perform such functions or to act in such capacity, including unfitness.
Withdrawal of Medical Fitness
If you no longer reasonably believe that you meet the medical requirements:
• • •
Of a DVLA Group 1 Ordinary Driving Licence, or
have been so advised by a medical practitioner, such as a GP, or
if you reasonably believe that you have developed one or more of the disqualifying medical conditions, as mentioned in ‘The
Medical Declaration’ section, appropriate to the declaration made, or as otherwise specified by the CAA.
you must withdraw your medical declaration by ticking the appropriate box and submitting a new self-declaration to the CAA. You should request advice from an AME if you subsequently wish to resume flying.
