1.26                                                 Is not suffering from safety‑relevant functional sequelae of medically significant conditions of the bones, joints, muscles or tendons
Ear, nose and throat
1.27                                                 Is not suffering from:

                                                     (c) permanent disturbances of the vestibular apparatus
1.28                                                 Has no safety‑relevant condition of the buccal cavity or the upper respiratory tract
Hearing requirements
1.29                                                 Is not suffering from any safety‑relevant hearing defect

                                                     (b) 50 dB at 3 000 Hz—
                                                     passes a speech discrimination test, or an operational check, carried out by an approved person in an aircraft of similar ambient noise level to that in which the person being tested is or will be operationally involved
Visual requirements
1.31                                                 Eyes and their adnexae function normally
