Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
In addition to the qualifications required for licensing of
				pilots under ORS 776, the applicant shall:
(1) Present an application in writing to the
			 administrator of the board on the form provided by the board for the pilotage
			 ground for which the applicant intends to become licensed. The application
			 shall be filed not less than 30 days prior to appearance at the board for a
			 written training assessment and may be supplemented at any time until the
			 written training assessment is taken. The board's administrator shall schedule
			 the written training assessment. Applicants taking the written training
			 assessment shall be observed by the board's administrator to ensure the
			 integrity and security of the assessment. The written training assessment for
			 each pilotage ground shall be prepared by the board-licensed training
			 organization for that pilotage ground and the board member from that pilotage
			 ground. The written training assessment will measure the applicant's skill and
			 knowledge of those factors identified in ORS
			 776.035(2) and
			 776.325(1)(b).
			 The written training assessment will be evaluated by the board member from the
			 pilotage ground for which the applicant is seeking a license, and, at that
			 board member's discretion, the board-licensed training organization from that
			 pilotage ground. The written training assessment evaluator(s) may recommend
			 additional training after reviewing an applicant's written training assessment
			 responses. If so, the application will be held until the applicant's training
			 is complete.
(2) Accompany the
			 application with a photocopy of the "Summary to be Completed by Medical
			 Practitioner" page of the U.S. Coast Guard physical examination report and
			 signed by an Oregon or Washington licensed physician verifying that the
			 applicant meets the physical, medical and mental criteria required to qualify
			 for a federal pilot's license.
(a) If the
			 examining physician determines that the applicant is not competent to perform
			 the duties of a pilot, the applicant is not medically eligible to receive a
			 license from the Board.
(b) If the
			 examining physician determines that the applicant is competent to perform the
			 duties of a pilot, the applicant is medically eligible to receive a license
			 from the Board.
(c) If the U.S.
			 Coast Guard undertakes further medical review of an applicant's physical,
			 medical or mental competency, the license application is considered incomplete
			 during the pendency of the review.
(A) If, at
			 the conclusion of such review process, the U.S. Coast Guard declines to approve
			 the applicant for continued federal licensure as a pilot, the applicant is not
			 medically eligible to receive a license from the Board.
(B) If, at the conslusion of such review
			 process, the U.S. Coast Guard issues a waiver to the applicant, the applicant
			 is medically eligible to recieve a license from the Board, and any license
			 issued by the Board shall be subject to the terms of the waiver issued by the
			 U.S. Coast Guard.
