Deferment of medical examination

If an applicant for the renewal of a licence is for the time being acting as a member of the operating crew of an aircraft in a region distant from official medical centres the medical examination which he should normally pass to obtain renewal of the licence may exceptionally, at the 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 (b) be deferred for two consecutive periods of three months each in the case of a member of the operating crew of a public transport or aerial 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.
