CASA doesn't have any money that isn't obtained
from user fees and a small amount from
consolidated revenue. If CASA pays WE pay.

As CASA is the party requiring them, CASA should pay!

Strictly speaking the tests involved in aviation
medicals are screening rather than diagnostic
and as such should not be billed to the health
system but paid for directly by the recipient.

Not only the RAMPC, AvMed creates an impost on
the Australian health system with unnecessary
tests in relation to Class 2 applications.
Former CASA Director of Aviation Medicine, from
1988 to 1997, Dr Robert Liddell stated in his
Aviation Safety Regulation Review Submission
(Feb 2014) that: "... When their DAME and their
specialist believe they meet the risk target for
certification without endless further testing
demanded by CASA and the advice of their own
specialist is ignored by the regulator then
pilots lose confidence in the regulator...". Regards Jo

For those of you wishing to email your AVMED
discussion response to the minister, his email address is
Darren Chester
MP<<mailto:darren.chester...@aph.gov.au>darren.chester...@aph.gov.au>
You may also like to ask the transport minister
to ask the Health Minister (Hon Greg Hunt MP
Minister for Health and Minister for Sport)
about the impact on testing for the onerous RAMPC on medical GPs.
Cheers,
Greg Wilson

You could simply say something like "the AOPA

Medical reform is supported by me" regards Jo

Hi Mike, deadline is Thursday 30 March. SAAA &
RA-Aus submissions are not yet available. 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
<mailto:avmed...@casa.gov.au>avmed...@casa.gov.au
and should include in the subject line: 'AvMed discussion paper' - regards Jo

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
<http://recreationalflying.com>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.
