Medical requirements to apply to CX CPP

[Barney18]

Hi everybody !

I'm very interested in the CX CPP and I'd like to send my application in the following months.

However, I have a question related to the medical requirements to become a pilot in Honk-Kong. Do you know where I could find the reglementary text that dictates the criteria I'll have to meet ? Especially what's related to sight. Or do you know those criteria by heart ?

I'm myopic, astigmatic and slightly colorblind, hope it won't be a too big problem.

Thanks a lot for your help !

The requirement to hold a medical for issuances of a licence is found in CAD54 Chapter 2.

The requirement to hold a medical certificate to exercise duties is found in AN(HK)O 20(7)(b).
The Air Navigation (Hong Kong) Order 1995 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1995/2700/contents/made)

The standards of the medical examination is taken from the reccomendations of ICAO Annex 1.

Hearing Requirements : Para 6.3.4

Good luck!

AFAIK the CX medical requirements go well beyond the requirements of a Hong Kong class 1 medical. They want to make sure that you are super healthy for insurance purposes. I suggest reading through the ~150 page thread on the CX cadetship - that information is covered in there somewhere.
