14.5.1 Student and Air Traffic Controller Licence Holders
Student air traffic controllers shall not provide an air traffic control service under supervision unless they hold a current medical certificate of the appropriate class.
Air traffic controllers shall not provide an air traffic control service unless they hold a current medical certificate of the appropriate class.
14.5.1.1 Holders of a current medical certificate shall be responsible for:
a) ensuring that their medical certificates are renewed by the due date and that special tests are completed when required;
b) advising the CAA Medical Department of any illness or injury following 20 consecutive days as in paragraph 14.4 above, or as soon as it is known that the period will exceed 20 days;
c) in the case of female controllers, advising the CAA Medical Department as soon as possible when they have reason to believe they are pregnant;
d) seeking advice from the CAA Medical Department if they have reason to believe they have fallen below the required medical standards, or require advice regarding the likely impact of illness or medication on their fitness to provide an ATC service.
When a licence holder whose medical certificate has been suspended believes he is fit to resume his functions, he shall obtain a report from his own doctor and forward it to the CAA Medical Department.
A controller who is pregnant must comply with any stipulations laid down by the CAA Medical Department while exercising the privileges of her licence.

a) complying with those conditions;
b) advising the provider of air traffic services, at the unit(s) where they exercise the privileges of their licences, that their medical certificates have been issued subject to conditions and what those conditions are. An example of a condition notified on a medical certificate would be to require a controller to wear correcting spectacles.
Licence holders who cannot comply with conditions placed upon their medical certificates shall not provide an air traffic control service.
Licence holders must take their most recent medical certificate with them when attending the medical examination.
14.5.2 Providers of Air Traffic Services
Providers of air traffic services at units where they are responsible for the provision of air traffic control services must have processes, procedures and competent personnel to ensure that student and air traffic controller licence holders:
a) hold current medical certificates of the appropriate class; b) are advised: i) of any unit procedure for arranging medical examinations or advising them when their medical certificate is due for renewal; or ii) that it is the controller’s individual responsibility to ensure that he renews his medical certificate. c) who are unable to meet any conditions placed upon their medical certificates do not provide an air traffic control service. NOTE: Providers who require advice on the medical aspects of any conditions imposed on licences should contact the CAA Medical Department.
