Medical requirements to apply to CX CPP

[Barney18]

Hi everybody !

I'm very interested in the CX CPP and I'd like to send my application in the following months.

However, I have a question related to the medical requirements to become a pilot in Honk-Kong. Do you know where I could find the reglementary text that dictates the criteria I'll have to meet ? Especially what's related to sight. Or do you know those criteria by heart ?

I'm myopic, astigmatic and slightly colorblind, hope it won't be a too big problem.

Thanks a lot for your help !

The requirement to hold a medical for issuances of a licence is found in CAD54 Chapter 2.
www.cad.gov.hk/english/pdf/CAD54.pdf

The requirement to hold a medical certificate to exercise duties is found in AN(HK)O 20(7)(b).
The Air Navigation (Hong Kong) Order 1995

The standards of the medical examination is taken from the reccomendations of ICAO Annex 1.
Medical Requirments as per ICAO (reliability of the source not known.)

Visual Requirements and Color Perception : Para 6.3.3
ICAO Vision Rules for Pilots and Flying

Hearing Requirements : Para 6.3.4
ICAO Hearing (ENT) Rules for Pilots and Flying




Good luck!

AFAIK the CX medical requirements go well beyond the requirements of a Hong Kong class 1 medical. They want to make sure that you are super healthy for insurance purposes. I suggest reading through the ~150 page thread on the CX cadetship - that information is covered in there somewhere.
