grant of the licence unless:

   (a)  the applicant submits to any relevant examination that, in the case of
        the applicant, is required by the Authority;

   (b)  at the time of any such examination the applicant informs the approved
        person conducting the examination whether he or she has previously
        undergone an examination of the same kind as that examination for the
        purpose of the grant of a licence and, where the applicant has
        previously undergone such an examination for that purpose, he or she
        furnishes particulars of the results of that examination;

   (c)  the applicant answers all questions put to him or her by the approved

        whether the applicant meets the medical standards referred to in
        paragraph (e);

   (d)  the applicant authorises the disclosure to the Authority of any
        information concerning the applicant:

        (i)    that is within the knowledge of any medical practitioner;

        (ii)   that is within the knowledge of any person (other than a
               medical practitioner) who has carried out on the applicant an
               examination of a kind that the applicant could be required to
               undergo as a relevant examination; or

        (iii)  that is held by any hospital or other medical organization;
being information that may assist in determining whether the applicant meets
the relevant medical standards referred to in paragraph (e); and

   (e)  the applicant meets the relevant medical standards notified by the
        Authority in Civil Aviation Orders.

(3) When an applicant for renewal of a licence is a member of the operating
crew of an aircraft operated in circumstances which render it impracticable

deferred by the Authority:

   (a)  in the case of the holder of a student pilot licence, of a private
        pilot licence or of a flight radiotelephone operator licence-once for
        a period not exceeding 6 months; or

   (b)  in the case of the holder of any other licence-for 2 consecutive
        periods not exceeding 3 months each.

(4) The medical examination of an applicant for renewal of a licence of a
class referred to in paragraph (3) (b) shall be deferred only upon the
condition that the applicant obtains and submits to the Authority on each
occasion a satisfactory medical certificate by a qualified medical
practitioner.
(5) In this regulation, "relevant examination" means an examination or test
conducted by an approved person for the purpose of ascertaining whether an
applicant for the grant of a licence to which this regulation applies meets
the relevant medical standards notified by the Authority in Civil Aviation
Orders.
