Role overview
About this role
JAR-FCL 3 - the medical requirements for aircrew - have been adopted in 2003 and been implemented in the JAA member states ever since. The requirements are basis for all those in aviation medicine throughout Europe and will remain so most probably for the next four to five years, until the EASA requirements - basically consisting of the same rules transposed into the EU format - will be implemented permanently. During the transition periods both - JAR-FCL 3 and the EASA Implementing Rules - will exist in parallel, depending on whether individual member states take advantage of opt-out possibilities. Legal requirements to receive a training in aviation medicine exist for those who want to take advantage of grandfather privileges when transferring to an activity under the future European requirements, for general practitioners examining pilots with a Light Aircraft Pilot License (LAPL), and for occupational health medical practitioners (OHMP) planning to examine flight attendants. These requirements will be satisfied by the course. <br />The course gives a comprehensive introduction into the requirements. Furthermore, a comprehensive introduction into the whole range of aviation medicine is given; "hot issues" of international aviation medicine will be discussed as well. The future EASA implementing rules and the future of European aviation medicine will be introduced. A lot of examples from practical aviation medicine will be presented and discussed by the participants. <br /><br /><br />The course is interactive and not only feasible for medical personnel, but also pilots, Authorities and industry. Pre-JAR-AMEs, General Medical Practitioners and other medical specialists may use the course as required training to become authorised to practice aviation medicine within the appropriate remits.<br />As aeromedical examiners have to attend refresher training within certain intervals, taking part in the course will fulfill these requirements as well. The course is a unique opportunity to liaise with other international specialists in aviation medicine. <br />Content Introduction to Aviation Medicine, brief history of Aviation and Aviation Medicine Basics of Aviation Medicine International Regulations applicable to medical examinations Introduction to Aviation Regulations in Europe Introduction to JAA and JAR-FCL Introduction to JAR-FCL 3 The Rulemaking Process of JAA Harmonisation and Standardisation in Europe Regulatory versus preventive medicine JAR-FCL 3, Medical requirements, Cardiology JAR-FCL 3, Medical requirements, Ophthalmology JAR-FCL 3 other medical requirements Discussing cases Infectious disease and aviation.
