REVISED SELF-DECLARED MEDICAL FORM ISSUED BY CAA
Delighted to pass on the good news that following representations from LAA, BMAA, BGA and BBAC; the CAA has today issued a revised Medical Self Declaration form for UK PPL and NPPL holders.
https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalappli ... rm&id=7493
This now has an additional clause stating:
To Only Fly an Aircraft of 2000kg MTOW or Less
You may fly an aircraft of 2000kg or less, provided you are not taking medication for any psychiatric illness, by declaring your fitness to fly by ticking the ‘no greater than 2000kg’ declaration at the end of this form.
This effectively returns us to the position agreed during last year’s ANO consultation. If you’re fit to drive to the airfield, you’re fit to fly!
Big thanks especially are due to Geoff Weighell of the BMAA for co-ordinating responses and to Tony Rapson at the GA Unit for responding so promptly to our concerns.
(Note: this only applies to UK national, CAA PPL and NPPL holders flying aircraft under 2000kg MTOW. If you are flying an aircraft up to 5700kg MTOW and you have a health issue specified on the form, or are the holder of an EASA PPL or LAPL, the relevant aircrew medical requirements still apply)
