Pilot Medical Declaration

On the Declaration Form you have to tick the box that confirms :-
a. I hereby declare that I reasonably believe I meet the medical requirements for a Group 1 Ordinary Driving Licence issued by the DVLA and am not subject to any disqualifying medical condition as defined in the ‘Pilot Medical Declaration Guidance Notes’.

From the ANO wording 'disqualifying medical condition' is quoted :-

6) For the purposes of this article, “disqualifying medical condition”means any physical or mental condition or illness, or any history of such a condition or illness, including—
(a) any alcohol or drug abuse, addiction or misuse;
(b) any neurological condition;
(c) any functional disability;
(d) any surgery or medical treatment;
(e)any collapse, fainting or loss of consciousness;
(f) any history of (a) to (e); or
(g) such other medical conditions as the CAA may specify,

that might impair the safe operation of normal flight controls or render the licence holder unfit at any time to perform any function for which the licence is granted.


If appropriate you then tick the 'Fly no greater than 2000kg' box.

So from the above, previous comments on this thread about only needing to meet the medical requirements for a Group 1 Driving Licence are incorrect, because you are declaring also that you are not subject to any of the disqualifying medical conditions.

Please tell me I am wrong but don't seem to be able interpret any other way.
