- Description
- The Chicago Convention, in 1945, identified a set of articles of agreement to facilitate aviation across the globe. Article 32 of the convention requires the pilot of every aircraft and the other members of the operating crew of every aircraft engaged in international navigation to be provided with certificates of competency and licences issued or rendered valid by the state in which the aircraft is registered. This licencing includes medical fitness. Various jurisdictions have implemented medical examination and assessment regimes for pilots to help identify problems that could impact aviation safety throughout the working lives of pilots (and that includes the functional flying lives of recreational pilots). The advent and progress of liberal thinking over the last century and particularly in the postwar period has resulted in an increasing emphasis on individual freedoms and is reflected in the universal approach to reducing regulation.
