Applicants for aviation permits that need a Category 4 medical certificate declare their own medical fitness on this form. For a student pilot permit for aeroplanes or a recreational pilot permit, a family physician also countersigns Part B. If the applicant has had any condition listed in Part B, the declaration is not enough and a Civil Aviation Medical Examiner must examine them instead.
The applicant completes the declaration. For a student pilot permit (aeroplane) or a recreational pilot permit, a family physician countersigns Part B, and that physician does not need to be a CAME.
