Quick question for the brain trust: Is there any regulation regarding medical requirements for task specialist? Part MED only talks about pilots and cabin crew members which are defined by all crew members other than pilots and technical Crew members. TCM are only related to commercial operations. What about non commercial SPO where a hoist operator is required? Where are the medical requirements (Class2 medical certificate) for this type of personnel?
Thanks in advance
The requirements do not change for the type of personnel. Where a Class 2 is required then the same standards are applied regardless of their actual role. This being said there is an option to replace the class 2 with an Occupational Medical examination, but then it becomes the responsibility of the employer/OH doctor. https://www.easa.europa.eu/community/system/files/2021-02/ESPN-R%20T4S%…
paragraph 3.1
Hello Antonia,
Thank you for chiming in. Could you please point out which article in PART MED lists when a Class 2 certificate is required. I'm only aware of Subpart B regarding pilot and student pilot medical certificate and Subpart C for Cabin Crew.
Thank you
Part MED won't tell you who needs what type of medical. It will just tell you what the criteria are for medical fitness for each type of medical, for example it won't tell you which pilots need a class 1 and which ones need a class 2. The link I provided is the only document I am aware of which specifically describes medical requirements for hoist operators. Maybe wait to see if anyone else is aware of any other information.
