2.1                    Basic health
2.1.1              Explain the effect and importance on pilot performance of the following factors:
(a)           diet, exercise;
(b)           coronary risk factors – smoking, cholesterol, obesity, hereditary factors;
(c)           upper respiratory tract infection, for example, colds, hay fever, congestion of air passages and sinuses;

(g)           injuries;
(h)           ageing;
(i)             alcohol and smoking;
(j)             blood donations;

2.1.2              Explain why a pilot is not to fly when on any medication unless a medical clearance from a DAME has been obtained.
2.2                    Health and fitness
2.2.1              Explain the reasons for, and frequency of, physical examinations and that a CASA network of DAMEs exists.
