CAA and CASA are developing joint clinical practice guidelines. These guidelines provide medical examiners, pilots and controllers, and other health professionals information about a range of medical conditions that affect medical certification. This includes advice about how a medical condition may impact on fitness to fly or operate, what reports or tests are required, and when they are required. Obtaining the requested information helps reduce any delays in the medical certification process.
The QRHs for pilots and controllers provide advice about what to do if they first develop a medical condition, have new or changed treatment, or their medical condition changes. Pilots and controllers are strongly encouraged to contact their medical examiner, Safe Haven or CAA for further information or if they are uncertain what actions they should take.
