How We Can Help
Practical support through the AvMed process, adverse action and review
CASA Requests and Directions
We review requests for information and Part 67 testing directions, including whether their scope, testing method and timeframe are lawful, proportionate and clear.
Medical Assessment Process
We help coordinate testing, specialist reports and targeted medical evidence so the material addresses the regulatory questions AvMed must decide.
Adverse AvMed Action
We prepare focused responses to proposed conditions, surveillance requirements, operational limitations, suspension, cancellation, non-renewal or refusal.
Review and Representation
We assist with CASA reconsideration and external merits review in the Administrative Review Tribunal, including evidence, submissions, conferences, directions hearings and final hearings.
Managing the Medical Assessment Process
Clear evidence and timely communication can reduce delay and avoid unnecessary escalation
Testing and Specialist Evidence
AvMed matters can involve hair, urine or blood testing, specialist assessment and detailed medical reports. We help make sure each step responds to the actual regulatory issue and that reports address the medical standard CASA must apply.
We can also manage communications between AvMed, Designated Aviation Medical Examiners, specialists and testing providers where instructions are unclear or inconsistent.
Targeted Regulatory Submissions
Where adverse action is proposed or has already been taken, we prepare submissions that address the medical evidence, procedural fairness and the relevant regulatory framework.
The goal is to place your position clearly and persuasively before the decision-maker while protecting review rights and avoiding preventable delay.
When to Seek Advice
Early advice gives you more control over evidence, deadlines and the way your matter is presented
A Request or Direction Arrives
CASA asks for information, testing or specialist evidence and the scope or timeframe is unclear.
Your Renewal Is Delayed
Your medical certificate renewal is not progressing and the reason or next step has not been adequately explained.
Adverse Action Is Proposed
You receive notice of proposed conditions, suspension, cancellation, non-renewal or refusal.
A Decision Appears Wrong
