Article L410-2 of the French Civil Aviation Code

The centres of expertise for aeronautical medicine and the medical examiners issue, for flight personnel, after examination, the medical certificates required to carry out the functions corresponding to the aeronautical titles.

To this end, for licences falling within the remit of the Minister responsible for civil aviation, they must be approved by the Minister responsible for civil aviation under conditions laid down by decree. These conditions relate in particular to the specific equipment used and the training in aeronautical medicine of the medical staff.

If an appeal is lodged with the Civil Aviation Medical Council by the Minister responsible for civil aviation, the person concerned or the employer, following decisions taken by the aeronautical medical centres and the medical examiners, it will decide on the fitness of the flight personnel.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L410-2

Les centres d’expertise de médecine aéronautique et les médecins examinateurs délivrent, pour le personnel navigant, après examen, les certificats médicaux exigés pour exercer les fonctions correspondant aux titres aéronautiques.

A cet effet, pour les licences relevant de la compétence du ministre chargé de l’aviation civile, ils doivent être agréés par le ministre chargé de l’aviation civile dans des conditions fixées par décret. Celles-ci portent notamment sur les moyens matériels spécifiques mis en oeuvre et sur la formation en médecine aéronautique du personnel médical.

Le conseil médical de l’aéronautique civile, s’il est saisi d’un recours par le ministre chargé de l’aviation civile, l’intéressé ou l’employeur, à la suite des décisions prises par les centres de médecine aéronautique et les médecins examinateurs, décide de l’aptitude du personnel navigant.
