Closing Remarks and Discussion IAOPA, at its 27th World Assembly, resolves: That, national civil aviation authorities should implement new medical standards and regulations for private pilots, similar to those enacted in the United States, which expands upon the FAA’s successful Sport Pilot standard and ensures safety is maintained while significantly reducing burdensome regulatory barriers. This approach will provide regulators and the general aviation community with a responsible and appropriate approach to managing medical fitness for pilots who are flying for recreational purposes while growing the state’s general aviation community. (27/5) IAOPA, at its 28th World Assembly, resolves: We further endorse resolution 27/5 proposed by the Netherlands; and The IAOPA Secretary General shall work with ICAO towards formal acceptance of medical requirements for private pilots, that are based on national or state medical standards that are currently used for drivers of motor vehicles.
