Australian CASA Medical Validity Period

When an Aus. Class 1 expires say on the 15th of the month, and a renewal was done on the 4th of the same month, when does the renewal period start from?

Is it the 4th (date of the medical) or the 15th (previous expiry date).

Confused

renewal date should start from the date of renewal (4th) you can call up to check so you can be 100% sure

Cheers

On completion of the medical assessment, provided that the applicant appears to meet the required medical standard and provided the medical certificate has not been endorsed ‘Renew by CASA only’, the DAME may revalidate an applicant’s medical certificate only, as follows (refer CASR 67.220):

l If the applicant’s medical certificate has not expired and the assessment is conducted more than 28 days before the expiry date shown on the certificate—for up to two calendar months from the date of the assessment. (But see ‘Exception for ATPL recertification’ below).

Example: Medical certificate expires 31 December 2010. Person arrives for medical exam 01 December 2010. Certificate can be extended until 01 February 2011.

l If the applicant’s medical certificate has not expired and the assessment is conducted within 28 days preceding the expiry date shown on the certificate—for up to two calendar months beyond the expiry date shown on the certificate.

Example: Medical certificate expires 31 December 2010. Person arrives for medical exam 14 December 2010. Certificate can be extended until 01 March 2011

l If the applicant’s medical certificate has expired, and the assessment is conducted within three calendar months of the expiry date shown on the certificate—for up to two calendar months from the date of the assessment.

Example: Medical certificate expires 31 December 2010. Person arrives for medical exam 01 March 2011. Certificate can be extended until 01 May 2011.

The Australian system renews at the renewal date if the medical is completed within 28 days prior to the renewal date (see previous post).

ICAO renews from the actual date of the medical. (ie medical done on 1st June, 6 months would be 1 December, 12 months would be 1 June of the next year)

Therefore, if an Australian licence holder was to operate outside of Australia, beyond the 6 month period (or 12 months as the case may be) from the actual medical renewal date, then the medical would NOT be valid from an ICAO perspective.

I think this is correct.

an ICAO state operating an airline under ICAO rules, albeit with differences, and not being in compliance in another ICAO state...wtf...
