Figure 8 Suspension and Revocation of Licence Flow Chart
Cancellation of Unit Endorsements
Unit endorsements may be cancelled where a controller is no longer required to provide an ATC service on a particular sector and/or operational position, or when sectors are reorganised and sector names or designations change. It may also be the case, with increasing traffic loading and complexity, that controllers specialise on a smaller number of sectors and either voluntarily stop providing a service on a particular sector or are required to do so by unit management. The licence holder shall inform ATS Licensing Administration in the event that a unit endorsement is withdrawn, cancelled or not renewed unless the unit has procedures to inform ATSD on the licence holder’s behalf.
14 Medical Certification
14.1 Introduction
The holders of student and air traffic controller licences are required to have a minimum standard of medical fitness to ensure they are fit to provide an ATC service and to minimise, as far as possible, the risk that they will become suddenly incapacitated to an extent that the safety of aircraft could be compromised.
14.2 Student and Air Traffic Controller Licence Holders
14.2.1 Requirement
An air traffic controller shall not provide an air traffic control service unless he holds a valid medical certificate of the appropriate class.
A student or trainee air traffic controller shall not provide an air traffic control service under supervision unless he holds a valid medical certificate of the appropriate class.
The holder of a student or air traffic controller licence who fails a medical examination shall not provide an air traffic control service even though the previous medical certificate held may not have expired.
The holder of a student or air traffic controller licence who fails a medical examination, or who has any medical limitations or conditions placed on the medical certificate, shall notify the unit management.
The holder of a student or air traffic controller licence shall notify his/her unit management when there is a decrease in his/her medical fitness that might render him/her unable to safely and properly exercise the privileges granted by his/her licence.
14.3 Medical Examinations
The EUROCONTROL 'Requirements for European Class 3 Medical Certification of Air Traffic Controllers' sets out the minimum medical standards for issue of medical certificates associated with the European ATC licence.
A certificate issued in association with a student air traffic controller licence remains in force following the grant of an air traffic controller licence.
Although the medical examination is only one of the requirements for the grant of an air traffic controller licence, applicants are nevertheless strongly advised to ensure that their medical standard is satisfactory before they commence an approved course of initial training.
14.4 Injury, Illness and Pregnancy
The validity of the medical certificate of a licence holder who suffers personal injury or illness involving incapacity throughout a period of 20 consecutive days will be deemed to be suspended and the holder must inform the CAA in writing of such injury or illness.
A controller who has reason to believe that she is pregnant must inform the CAA.
