Sickness days before consulting a DAME
Hi all,
I have been searching the CARs and CAOs online trying to find where it is written about sickness for CPL holders and above, and PPL holders.
Can anybody help with a reference, or quote the max times off sick before you have to see a DAME before re-commencing flying duties?
I had some 'numbers' in my head from wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back but unsure if they are correct!
Thanks in advance

he or she must tell CASA or a DAME about the condition as soon as

can safely do such acts.

CASA in writing of that fact within 5 working days — see regulation 67.125.
(6) It is a defence to a prosecution under subregulation (5) that, in the
circumstances, the relevant act was a reasonable measure to save life
(including the holder’s own life) or avoid damage to property.
