a copy of their record of class 5 medical self-declaration on the aircraft.
       (2) A student pilot must, on request of an authorised person, produce their record of class 5 medical self-declaration for inspection by the person.

Part 4 — Exemption relating to applicants for recreational pilot licences or for ratings on such licences
Note 1   Sections 15 and 16 exempt certain applicants for a recreational pilot licence or a rating on any such licence who are taking a flight test in an aircraft from obligations regarding medical certificates if CASA has given the applicant a record of class 5 medical self-declaration to acknowledge their successful completion of the online self-assessment of medical fitness process.
The exemption of applicants for a recreational pilot licence or a rating is only effective if the record of class 5 medical self-declaration is "current", that is, an applicant will not have the advantage of an exemption if:
       (a) the renewal date specified in their record of class 5 medical self-declaration has passed; or
       (b) their efficiency has become impaired and they have been required to surrender their record of class 5 medical self-declaration for one of the reasons specified in section 21.
In that case, an applicant for a recreational pilot licence or a rating may be guilty of the offence under CASR if they continue to undertake flight tests in an aircraft without obtaining a class 1 or 2 medical certificate.
Sections 20 to 24 set out conditions to which the exemptions in sections 15 and 16 are subject.
An applicant for a recreational pilot licence or a rating will not have the advantage of an exemption if they do not comply with all of the conditions to which the exemption is subject (set out in sections 20 to 24), in which case they may be guilty of the offence of failure to comply with the obligations imposed by a condition to which an exemption is subject (see regulation 11.210 of CASR).
If an applicant for a recreational private pilot licence or a rating is found not to have made full and accurate disclosure when they completed the online self-assessment of medical fitness process (which may happen as a result of CASA issuing directions requiring accurate information), they may be guilty of an offence if they continue to undertake flight tests in an aircraft without obtaining a class 1 or 2 medical certificate.
Note 2   Sections 17 to 19 exempt flight examiners for a recreational pilot licence applicant or rating, Part 141 operators conducting authorised Part 141 flight training of a recreational pilot licence applicant or rating applicant and Part 142 operators conducting authorised Part 142 flight training of an applicant from obligations
