Upcoming changes to New Zealandâs Civil Aviation Rules will deliver a cheaper and more accessible medical certification option for thousands of New Zealand pilots.
From 5 April holders of private pilot licences will be able to fly with a driver licence medical certificate (known as a DL9) rather than the more costly class 2 aviation medical certificate.
Previously, pilots holding a DL9 medical could fly only within the restrictions of the more limited recreational pilot licence class. Private pilots can also now clearly see what restrictions will apply to them depending on the type of medical certificate they hold.
