20-

(4) be deferred for two consecutive periods of three months
each in the case of a member of the operating crew of ai public
transport or zrial work aircraft, on condition that the applicant.
obtains locally on each occasion a satisfactory medical certificate
after having been examined by a qualified medical officer.

36: The medical examination and assessment will be based on the
following requirementa of mental and physical fitness:—

Z A. PuysicaL STANDARD.
(a) GENERAL :

(i) The applicant shall be required to be free from any
congenital or acquired disability causing such degree
of functional incapacity as is considered by the
medical examiner likely to interfere, in the case of
piloting, with the safe handling of an aircraft at.any
‘altitude throughout a prolonged or difficult flight or,
in the case of members of the operating crew of an
aircraft other than pilots, with the efficient per-

‘formance of the duties to be carried out when
exercising the privileges of licence.

(ii) The medical examination will include a full enquiry
into the family and personal history of the applicant.
The information obtained shall be given in a state-
ment made and signed by him and will be taken into
consideration by the medical examiner, .

(6) EXAMINATION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.

The applicant shall have no history of significant mental or nervous
trouble. He shall be required to be free from any disability of the
nervous system considered by the medical examiner to be of such degree
as likely to interfere with efficient function during. prolonged flight.
Cases in which syphilis, past or present, has affected the central nervous
system will be assessed as permanently unfit.

(c) INsuRIES oF THE HEAD.

(i) Cases of simple concussion or simple fracture of the
skull without associated intracranial injury will be
assessed as temporarily unfit for a period of not less
than two months from the date of the concussion or
fracture. When the licence is renewed, it will be
made valid only for a period of two months in the first:
instance. Thereafter its validity will be restricted. to
consecutive periods of two months until the medical

~N



a1
examiner reports that he has good reason to presume
that the after-effects of the concussion or fracture are
no longer likely to cause a sudden incapacity in flight.

(ii) Cases of head injury associated with intracranial
injuries will be assessed as permanently unfit if a
local lesion of the brain persists.

(iii) Cases of head injury in which there has been an
operation on the skull with loss of bony substance
involving the two tables of the cranial vault will be
assessed as permanently unfit.

(iv) Cases of head injury associated with a lesion of the
dura mater will be assessed as permanently unfit
even if a bone graft has been done.

(1) GENERAL SURGICAL EXAMINATION.

The applicant shall neither suffer from any wound or injury, nor
have undergone any operation, nor possess any abnormality, congenital
or acquired, which is considered by the medicul examiner likely to
interfere with the efficient performance of the duties to be carried out
when exercising the privileges of the licence. .

Cases in which there is any signficant anatomical or functional lesion
in the walls of any part of the digestive tract, any stricture, any calculus
or foreign body, any significant peritoneal lesion, established by clinical
or laboratory examinations, will be assessed as unfit. An applicant who
has undergone a major surgical operation on the biliary passages or the
digestive tract, except for appendicitis, which has involved a total or
partial excision or a diversion of any of these organs will be assessed as
unfit unless a period of one year has elapsed since the surgical operation
and the effects of the operation are not considered liable to cause sudden
incapacity in-the air, provided that this period of one year may be
shortened on the production of an attestation made by a surgeon having
knowledge of the nature of the disease which necessitated the operation,
certifying that no immediate or future after-effects are to be feared.

(e) GenpraL MepicaL EXxaMInaTIon,

The applicant shall not suffer from any disease or disability which
renders him liable suddenly to become incompetent in the performance of
the duties to be carried out when exercising the privileges of the licence.

t

There shall be no. significant cardiovascular abnormality. The

systolic and diastolic blood pressures shall be within normal limits,



a

There shall be no acute disahility of the lungs nor any active disease
of the structures of the lungs, mediastinum or pleura. In the case of
an examination for the first grant of a licence, radioscopy will form part
of the chest examination. Ladiography will form a part of the medical

exaniination in all doubtful clinical cases.

_ Cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis, however diagnosed, will be
assessed as unfit. Cases.of quiescent or healed lesions which are known
to be tuberculous, or are .presumably tubercvious, in origin may be
assessed as fit. Cases of doubt about the activity of a lesion, where
symptoms of activity of the disease are lacking, clinically, will be assessed
as temporarily unfit for a period of not less than three months from the
date of the medical examination. At the end of the three months’ period, a
further radiographic record will be made and compared carefully with
the original. If there is no sign of extension of the disease and there
are no general symptoms or symptoms referable to the chest, the applicant

may be.assessed as fit, but where the licence is renewed in these circum-.

‘stances, it will be made valid only for-a period of three months in the
first instance. Thereafter, provided there continues to be no sign of
‘ extension of the disease.as shown by radiographic examinations carried
out at-the end of each three months’ period, the validity of the licence
will be restricted to consecutive. periods of three months. "When the
applicant has been under observation under this‘scheme for a total period
of at least two years and comparison of all the radiographic records shows
no changes or only retrogression of the lesion, the lesion will be regarded
as ‘quiescent ” or “ healed ”. i

Cases of disease of, or of significant impairment of the functioning
of the liver, biliary passages or pancreas will be assessed as unfit.
Cases of diabetes will also be assessed aa unfit.

The applicant shall be required to be free from disease of the
urogenital tract. ‘

An applicant for the first grant of a licence who has a personal
history of syphilis shall be required to furnish evidence, satisfactory to
the medical examiner, that he has undergone adequate treatment; this
evidence shall include the result of an examination of the blood and of
- the cerebrospinal fluid. An applicant showing any clinical signs of
active syphilis will be assessed as temporarily unfit for.a period. of not
less than three monthis frum the date of the medical examination, -At the
end of the three months’ period, provided the applicant furnishés proof,
satisfactory to the medical examiner, that he has undergone. adequate
treatment in the interim and that serological reaction for- syphilis is
-hegutive, he may be assessed as fit but, where a licence is: granted or
‘Tenewed in these circumstances, it will be made valid only for a period
of three months in the first instance. Thereafter, provided serological

reactions for syphilis continue to be neyative at the end of each three
months’ period, the validity of the Ticence will be. restricted to
consecutive periods of three months. When the applicant has been

~ under observation under this scheme for a total period of at least three

years and the serological reactions have continued to be negative, the
restriction on the period of validity of the licence may be‘removed. In
cases where the serological reaction for syphilis remains persistently
positive, examinations of the cerebro- spinal fluid at the end of each
period of six months with negative results may be accepted in lieu of
negative serological reactions ‘at the end of each period of three months.
Any evidence of syphilis of the central nervous system will be confirmed

by the result of an examination of the cerebro-spinal fluid.

The cases of applicants of the female sex who have undergone
gynecological or other surgical operations -wili be considered in-
dividually. Jn the event of presumed pregnancy the applicant will be
assessed as temporarily unfit until, at least, after the pregnancy has been
terminated; after confinement or miscarriage the candidate will not be
permitted to exercise the privileges of her licence until she has under-
gone a new medical examination and been assessed as fit.

flight radiotelegraphy operator’s licence shall be required to undergo a
medical examination to ascertain whether his physical condition conforms —
with the standard of fitness, z.e. physical, visual, colour perception and
hearing, specified in regulation 36: :

Provided that an applicant who does not satisfy the specified medical
requirements may, at the discretion of the Governor, be accepted as
eligible for the grant or renewal of a licence so far as medical require-
ments are concerned if the licence is to be restricted to flying within the
Colony. Any licence granted or renewed in accordance with this proviso —
may be made subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Governor
may consider appropriate in the particular case.

(6) The - medical examination shall be conducted by specially

_qualified medically officers appointed by or acting under the authority

of the Governor. Applications for examination should be made to the
Airport Manager. - .

32. Hvery applicant who presents himself for medical examination
for the grant or renewal of a licence shall be required to furnish to the
~ medical examiner a declaration signed by him stating whether he has
previously undergone such medical examination and, if so, where, when
and with what result. A false declaration may entail the cancellation of
any licence granted or renewed as a result of the examination.

33, If the holder of a licence is aware, or has reasonable grounds |
to suspect, that his physical, aural or eye condition has deteriorated in
any respect, even if only temporarily as a result of a common minor
ailment, so that it may be below the standard of medical fitness required -
for the grant of such licence, he shall not act in any capacity for which
he is so. licensed until he is satisfied that his condition has been restored
to ine required standard.
34. (1) If the holder of a licence—

(a) suffers any personal injury as the result of an accident

regulation 35. __ Si

35. If an applicent for the renewal of a licence is for the time
being acting 483 a member of the operating crew of an aircraft ina region
distant from official medical centres the medical examination which he
should normally pass to obtain renewal of the licence may exceptionally,
atthe discretion of the Governor— :

(a) be deferred once for a period of six months in the case of a
member of the operating crew of a private aircraft; or
20-

(4) be deferred for two consecutive periods of three months
each in the case of a member of the operating crew of ai public
transport or zrial work aircraft, on condition that the applicant.
obtains locally on each occasion a satisfactory medical certificate
after having been examined by a qualified medical officer.

36: The medical examination and assessment will be based on the
following requirementa of mental and physical fitness:—

Z A. PuysicaL STANDARD.
(a) GENERAL :

(i) The applicant shall be required to be free from any
congenital or acquired disability causing such degree
of functional incapacity as is considered by the
medical examiner likely to interfere, in the case of
piloting, with the safe handling of an aircraft at.any
‘altitude throughout a prolonged or difficult flight or,
in the case of members of the operating crew of an
aircraft other than pilots, with the efficient per-

‘formance of the duties to be carried out when
exercising the privileges of licence.

(ii) The medical examination will include a full enquiry
into the family and personal history of the applicant.
The information obtained shall be given in a state-
ment made and signed by him and will be taken into
consideration by the medical examiner, .

(6) EXAMINATION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.

The applicant shall have no history of significant mental or nervous
trouble. He shall be required to be free from any disability of the
nervous system considered by the medical examiner to be of such degree
as likely to interfere with efficient function during. prolonged flight.
Cases in which syphilis, past or present, has affected the central nervous
system will be assessed as permanently unfit.

(c) INsuRIES oF THE HEAD.

(i) Cases of simple concussion or simple fracture of the
skull without associated intracranial injury will be
assessed as temporarily unfit for a period of not less
than two months from the date of the concussion or
fracture. When the licence is renewed, it will be
made valid only for a period of two months in the first:
instance. Thereafter its validity will be restricted. to
consecutive periods of two months until the medical

~N
a1
examiner reports that he has good reason to presume
that the after-effects of the concussion or fracture are
no longer likely to cause a sudden incapacity in flight.

(ii) Cases of head injury associated with intracranial
injuries will be assessed as permanently unfit if a
local lesion of the brain persists.

(iii) Cases of head injury in which there has been an
operation on the skull with loss of bony substance
involving the two tables of the cranial vault will be
assessed as permanently unfit.

(iv) Cases of head injury associated with a lesion of the
dura mater will be assessed as permanently unfit
even if a bone graft has been done.

(1) GENERAL SURGICAL EXAMINATION.

The applicant shall neither suffer from any wound or injury, nor
have undergone any operation, nor possess any abnormality, congenital
or acquired, which is considered by the medicul examiner likely to
interfere with the efficient performance of the duties to be carried out
when exercising the privileges of the licence. .

Cases in which there is any signficant anatomical or functional lesion
in the walls of any part of the digestive tract, any stricture, any calculus
or foreign body, any significant peritoneal lesion, established by clinical
or laboratory examinations, will be assessed as unfit. An applicant who
has undergone a major surgical operation on the biliary passages or the
digestive tract, except for appendicitis, which has involved a total or
partial excision or a diversion of any of these organs will be assessed as
unfit unless a period of one year has elapsed since the surgical operation
and the effects of the operation are not considered liable to cause sudden
incapacity in-the air, provided that this period of one year may be
shortened on the production of an attestation made by a surgeon having
knowledge of the nature of the disease which necessitated the operation,
certifying that no immediate or future after-effects are to be feared.

(e) GenpraL MepicaL EXxaMInaTIon,

The applicant shall not suffer from any disease or disability which
renders him liable suddenly to become incompetent in the performance of
the duties to be carried out when exercising the privileges of the licence.

t

There shall be no. significant cardiovascular abnormality. The

systolic and diastolic blood pressures shall be within normal limits,
a

There shall be no acute disahility of the lungs nor any active disease
of the structures of the lungs, mediastinum or pleura. In the case of
an examination for the first grant of a licence, radioscopy will form part
of the chest examination. Ladiography will form a part of the medical

exaniination in all doubtful clinical cases.

_ Cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis, however diagnosed, will be
assessed as unfit. Cases.of quiescent or healed lesions which are known
to be tuberculous, or are .presumably tubercvious, in origin may be
assessed as fit. Cases of doubt about the activity of a lesion, where
symptoms of activity of the disease are lacking, clinically, will be assessed
as temporarily unfit for a period of not less than three months from the
date of the medical examination. At the end of the three months’ period, a
further radiographic record will be made and compared carefully with
the original. If there is no sign of extension of the disease and there
are no general symptoms or symptoms referable to the chest, the applicant

may be.assessed as fit, but where the licence is renewed in these circum-.

‘stances, it will be made valid only for-a period of three months in the
first instance. Thereafter, provided there continues to be no sign of
‘ extension of the disease.as shown by radiographic examinations carried
out at-the end of each three months’ period, the validity of the licence
will be restricted to consecutive. periods of three months. "When the
applicant has been under observation under this‘scheme for a total period
of at least two years and comparison of all the radiographic records shows
no changes or only retrogression of the lesion, the lesion will be regarded
as ‘quiescent ” or “ healed ”. i

Cases of disease of, or of significant impairment of the functioning
of the liver, biliary passages or pancreas will be assessed as unfit.
Cases of diabetes will also be assessed aa unfit.

The applicant shall be required to be free from disease of the
urogenital tract. ‘

An applicant for the first grant of a licence who has a personal
history of syphilis shall be required to furnish evidence, satisfactory to
the medical examiner, that he has undergone adequate treatment; this
evidence shall include the result of an examination of the blood and of
- the cerebrospinal fluid. An applicant showing any clinical signs of
active syphilis will be assessed as temporarily unfit for.a period. of not
less than three monthis frum the date of the medical examination, -At the
end of the three months’ period, provided the applicant furnishés proof,
satisfactory to the medical examiner, that he has undergone. adequate
treatment in the interim and that serological reaction for- syphilis is
-hegutive, he may be assessed as fit but, where a licence is: granted or
‘Tenewed in these circumstances, it will be made valid only for a period
of three months in the first instance. Thereafter, provided serological

reactions for syphilis continue to be neyative at the end of each three
months’ period, the validity of the Ticence will be. restricted to
consecutive periods of three months. When the applicant has been

~ under observation under this scheme for a total period of at least three

years and the serological reactions have continued to be negative, the
restriction on the period of validity of the licence may be‘removed. In
cases where the serological reaction for syphilis remains persistently
positive, examinations of the cerebro- spinal fluid at the end of each
period of six months with negative results may be accepted in lieu of
negative serological reactions ‘at the end of each period of three months.
Any evidence of syphilis of the central nervous system will be confirmed

by the result of an examination of the cerebro-spinal fluid.

The cases of applicants of the female sex who have undergone
gynecological or other surgical operations -wili be considered in-
dividually. Jn the event of presumed pregnancy the applicant will be
assessed as temporarily unfit until, at least, after the pregnancy has been
terminated; after confinement or miscarriage the candidate will not be
permitted to exercise the privileges of her licence until she has under-
gone a new medical examination and been assessed as fit.
