Bev reckoned I was sailing too close to the wind so, for the time being, I’ve deleted the anus prick.

AOPA put forward a proposal on 23 August 2016 (attached), which many are supporting. GFA tug pilots could be affected. Even though they can operate on an RAMPC, RAMPC requires fulfilling unconditional private driver licence requirements + a visit to a Doctor + filling in a medical history form + only being eligible in the absence of certain conditions - although these conditions do not preclude an unconditional driver's licence. There are 53+ disqualifying conditions for an RAMPC including a cancer in the last 5 years, angina, coronary bypass surgery, ECG changes, insulin treated diabetes, sleep apnoea... RAMPC is therefore more restrictive than a Class 2 Medical, eg a healthy private pilot with a recent history of prostate cancer is ineligible to obtain a RAMPC, but that pilot is unlikely to have difficulty obtaining a Class 2 Medical Certificate. Submissions to avmed...@casa.gov.au and should include in the subject line: 'AvMed discussion paper' - regards Jo From: Aus-soaring [mailto:aus-soaring-boun...@lists.base64.com.au] On Behalf Of Mike Borgelt Sent: Monday, 27 March 2017 3:00 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] CASA Avmed discussion paper OK how many have put in a submission to CASA Avmed re the current discussion paper? You have until 31st March.(the end of this week). If you don't, there is a possibility you will be required to have a RAMPC to fly gliders. You can go to recreationalflying.com to see the trouble that causes because if you can't get one for a number of relatively trivial reasons you will be up for a Class 2 medical with a DAME. If you don't put in a submission, preferably in strong support of the AOPA proposal which has been linked to here a while ago you get to lose all bitching rights and sympathy when CASA AvMed screws you over. Don't expect GFA to do anything sensible, do it yourself.
