Mark,
This was discussed here a couple of months ago. It saves you $75
every two years that would be used to register your Class2 with CASA
and you have to put up with the limitations.
Otherwise it is useless as if you can make the declaration and have
your GP pass you as fit a DAME would pass you for a Class 2 anyway as
the standard is exactly the same.
The bloke here a couple of months ago was having trouble with CASA
because of a past condition and he wouldn't be able to make the
declaration so would need to go to a DAME anyway. Catch 22.

This is increasingly academic given that CASA have already decided
to remove the requirement
for class-2 medicals for private flight, with limitations.

The scheme should be live at the end of this year, and applies to
all holders of SPL, PPL and CPL
licenses.
You'll need to ask your doctor to assess your medical fitness to the
standard documented
in the Austroads publication "Assessing Fitness to Drive for
Commercial and Private Vehicle
Drivers," with CASA amendments. Any GP can do it, and most of them
should be across the
requirements. Send the doctor's certification to CASA and you're
done, no mess, no fuss.
When flying under the "drivers license medical" standard, CASA
imposes these restrictions:
- Private operations only
- Single engine
- 1500kg MTOW
- No more than one passenger
- No aerobatics
- Not above 10,000' AMSL
- Day VFR.
That encompasses the vast bulk of gliding activities.
I'd strongly suggest that in the event that GFA's requirements for
visiting overseas pilots
are more stringent than CASA's, it'll be incumbent on GFA to change
them accordingly.

Thanks Mike and Carol,
That's Gold,
OK, bring it on.
Implement it and see what happens!
Unless I have completely mis read it again, an initially medical
issuance would still be required (i.e. Driver's licence initial
issue requires a medical and this is used in lieu)? Then attendance
and sign of for medical self awareness courses and using self
report for restricted operations (i.e. single engine, one pax max etc..)?
