Transport Canada 26-0011: Medical Condition Reporting

Under the Aeronautics Act, physicians and optometrists in Canada must report a patient they believe is a pilot, flight engineer, air traffic controller or other holder of an aviation document with medical standards, when they think the patient has a condition likely to be a hazard to aviation safety. This one-page form is how that report reaches Transport Canada's Civil Aviation Medicine branch.

Who completes it

Any physician or optometrist completes Sections 1 to 3, identifying the licence holder, themselves and the condition; being a CAME is not required. A Regional Aviation Medical Officer completes Section 4 when reviewing the report.

Submitting and payment
