only with correcting lenses, the applicant may be assessed

a) such correcting lenses are worn during the exercise of

and

b) in addition, a pair of suitable correcting spectacles is kept

Note 1- 12.6.3.2 b) is the subject of Standards in Annex 6,Part I.

Note 2- An applicant accepted as meeting these provisions is deemed to continue to do so unless there is reason to suspect otherwise, in which case an ophthalmic report is required at the discretion of the Licensing Authority. Both uncorrected and corrected visual acuity are normally measured and recorded at each re-examination. Conditions which indicate a need to obtain an ophthalmic report include: a substantial decrease in the uncorrected visual acuity, any decrease in best corrected visual acuity, and the occurrence of eye disease, eye injury or eye surgery.

range of 30 to 50 cm and the ability to read the N 14 chart or

its equivalent at a distance of 100 cm. If this requirement is

met only by the use of near correction, the applicant may be

assessed as fit provided that this near correction is added to

the spectacle correction already prescribed in accordance

with b); if no such correction is prescribed, a pair of

spectacles for near use shall be kept readily available during

correction is required, the applicant shall demonstrate that

one pair of spectacles is sufficient to meet both distant and

near visual requirements.

Note 1.- N5 and N14 refer to the size of typeface used. For further details, see the Manual of Civil Aviation Medicine (Doc 8984).

Note 2.- An applicant who needs near correction to meet this requirement will require “look-over”, bifocal or perhaps multifocal lenses in order to read the instruments and a chart or manual held in the hand, and also to make use of distant vision, through the windscreen, without removing the lenses.Single-vision near correction (full lenses of one power only, appropriate for reading) significantly reduces distant visual acuity and is therefore not acceptable.

Note 3. - Whenever there is a requirement to obtain or renew correcting lenses, an applicant is expected to advise the refractionist of reading distances for the visual flight deck tasks relevant to the types of aircraft in which the applicant is likely to function.

Note.- Guidance on urine examination and evaluation of abnormalities is contained in the Manual of Civil Aviation Medicine (Doc 8984).

12.7.2.19 Applicants with sequelae of disease of, or surgical procedures

on, the kidneys or the genito-urinary tract, in particular

obstructions due to stricture or compression, shall be

assessed as unfit unless the applicant's condition has been

assessed as not likely to interfere with the safe exercise of

the applicant’s licence or rating privileges.

Note 1.- Early diagnosis and active management of HIV disease with antiretroviral therapy reduces morbidity and improves prognosis and thus increases the likelihood of a fit assessment.

12.7.2.22 Following confinement or termination of pregnancy, the

12.7.3 Visual requirements


12.7.3.1 The function of the eyes and their adnexae shall be normal.

chronic, nor any sequelae of surgery or trauma of the eyes or

their adnexa likely to reduce proper visual function to an

extent that would interfere with safe exercise of the


12.7.3.2 Distant visual acuity with or without correction shall be 6/12

or better in each eye separately, and binocular visual acuity

shall be 6/9 or better. No limits apply to uncorrected visual

acuity. Where this standard of visual acuity can be obtained

only with correcting lenses, the applicant may be assessed

as fit provided that:

a) such correcting lenses are worn during the exercise of the privileges

of the license or rating applied for or held; and

b) in addition, a pair of suitable correcting spectacles is kept readily

available during the exercise of the privileges of the applicant's

licence.

Note.- An applicant accepted as meeting these provisions is deemed to continue to do so unless there is reason to suspect otherwise, in which case an ophthalmic report is required at the discretion of the Licensing Authority. Both uncorrected and corrected visual acuity are normally measured and recorded at each re-examination. Conditions which indicate a need to obtain an ophthalmic report include: a substantial decrease in the uncorrected visual acuity, any decrease in best corrected visual acuity, and the occurrence of eye disease, eye injury or eye surgery.

12.7.3.2.1 Applicants may use contact lenses to meet this

requirement provided that:

a) the lenses are monofocal and non-tinted;

b) the lenses are well tolerated; and

c) a pair of suitable correcting spectacles is kept

readily available during the exercise of the

licence privileges.

Note.- Applicants who use contact lenses may not need to have their uncorrected visual acuity measured at each re-examination provided the history of their contact lens prescription is known.

12.7.3.2.2 Applicants with a large refractive error shall be

contact lenses or high- index spectacle lenses.

Note.- If spectacles are used, high-index lenses are needed to minimize peripheral field distortion.

12.7.3.2.3 Applicants whose uncorrected distant visual

acuity in either eye is worse than 6/60 should be

required to provide a full ophthalmic report prior

to initial Medical Assessment and every five

years thereafter

Note 2.- Guidance on the assessment of monocular applicants under the provisions of 1.2.4.8 is contained in the Manual of Civil Aviation Medicine (Doc 8984).

12.7.3.3 Applicants who have undergone surgery affecting the refractive status of the eye shall be assessed as unfit unless they are free from those sequelae which are likely to interfere with the safe exercise of their licence and rating privileges.

12.7.3.4 The applicant shall have the ability to read, while wearing the

correcting lenses. if any, required by b), the N5 chart or its

equivalent at a distance selected by that applicant in the

range of 30 to 50 cm. If this requirement is met only by the

use of near correction, the applicant may be assessed as fit

provided that this near correction is added to the spectacle

correction already prescribed in accordance with b); if no

such correction is prescribed, a pair of spectacles for near

use shall be kept readily available during the exercise

required, the applicant shall demonstrate that one pair of

spectacles is sufficient to meet both distant and near visual

requirements.

Note 1.- N5 refers to the size of typeface used. For further details, see the Manual of Civil Aviation Medicine (Doc 8984).

Note 2.-An applicant who needs near correction to meet the requirement will require “look-over”, bifocal or perhaps multifocal lenses in order to read the instruments and a chartor manual held in the hand, and also to make use of distant vision, through the windscreen, without removing the lenses. Single-vision near correction (full lenses of one power only, appropriate for reading) significantly reduces distant visual acuity and is therefore not acceptable.

Note 3.- Whenever there is a requirement to obtain or renew correcting

lenses, an applicant is expected to advise the refractionist of

the reading distances for the visual flight deck tasks relevant to

the types of aircraft in which the applicant is likely to function.

12.7.3.4.1 When near correction is required in accordance

with this paragraph, a second pair of near-

12.7.3.5 The applicant shall be required to have normal

12.7.3.6 The applicant shall be required to have normal

binocular function.

12.7.3.6.1 Reduced stereopsis, abnormal

convergence not interfering with near

vision, and ocular misalignment where

the fusional reserves are sufficient to

prevent asthenopia and diploma need

not be disqualifying.

12.7.4 Hearing requirements

12.7.4.1 Applicants who are unable to hear an average conversational

voice in a quiet room, using both ears, at a distance of 2 m

from the examiner and with the back turned to the examiner,

shall be assessed as unfit.

12.7.4.2 When tested by pure-tone audiometry, an applicant with a

hearing loss, in either ear separately, of more than 35 dB at

any of the frequencies 500, 1000 or 2 000 Hz, or more than

50 dB at 3000 Hz, shall be assessed as unfit.

12.7.4.3 An applicant who does not meet the requirements in 12.7.4.1

or 12.7.4.2 should undergo further testing in accordance with

12.6.4.1.1.
