Welcome to ​Jersey AME 

COVID Information: 24/3/20

I have received guidance today from the CAA regarding certifcation during the COVID-19 Outbreak

Last night the CAA issued ORS4 1354 containing exemption 5026 (http://publicapps.caa.co.uk/docs/33/ORS4No1354.pdf) that includes measures relating to Class 1 and 3 medical certificate holders together with cabin crew medical report holders.

There are a number of key issues which are highlighted and expanded upon in the attached guidance for AMEs.

• To take advantage of the exemption, the medical certificates or cabin crew medical reports must have been valid on the 23rd March 2020 and not beyond 31st October 2020.

o So certificate holders who expired before this date without revalidating their certificate cannot use this exemption and must have a renewal medical to exercise licence privileges

• The exemption ends on 22nd November 2020 and therefore no certificate validities can be extended beyond this date.

o So certificate holders who use this exemption must have a renewal medical before 22nd November 2020 to exercise licence privileges after 22nd November 2020

• Certificate holders with medical conditions should still comply with the requirements for provision of medical reports that support their medical fitness.

o For certificate holders who experience difficulties in provision of reports, AMEs can extend the requirement date for up to 3 months. Further extensions may be granted by the CAA.

Guidance and information will be updated periodically as the situation evolves.

PLEASE THEREFORE ONLY BOOK A MEDICAL CURRENTLY WHEN YOU HAVE CONSIDERED THIS GUIDANCE
