A General Direction is a notice we issue after consultation, which specifies requirements for applicants of a medical certificate.
A list of requirements for routine examination for pilots and air traffic controllers.
Provides practical guidance on what temporary conditions are not necessary for medical certificate holders to report. For any other conditions, please contact your Medical Examiner or CAA.
The General Direction sets out the conditions for pilots who have a colour vision deficiency.
The pilots with colour vision deficiency may apply to undertake an operational colour vision assessment (OCVA). A successful assessment allows removal of restrictions on Class 1 and 2 medical certificates. It may apply in certain circumstances to pilots with DL9 medical certificates.
This notice provides the conduct of examinations, the reporting of their results, and to specify the requirements of examinations or other clinical matters.
