pilot licence applicant or rating applicant must not commence a flight test in an aircraft unless they are carrying a copy of their record of class 5 medical self-declaration on the aircraft.
       (2) A recreational pilot licence applicant or rating applicant must, on request of an authorised person, produce their record of class 5 medical self-declaration for inspection by the person.

Part 5 — Exemptions relating to holders of a private pilot licence or a recreational pilot licence
Note 1   Sections 25 and 26 exempt certain persons who hold a private pilot licence or a recreational pilot licence from obligations regarding medical certificates if CASA has given them 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 licence holders is only effective if the record of class 5 medical self‑declaration is "current", that is, a licence holder 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 29.

If a person who holds a private pilot licence or recreational pilot licence 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 single-pilot operations in an aircraft without obtaining a class 1 or 2 medical certificate.
Note 2   Section 27 exempts a pilot in command of a flight crew with flight crew members who hold a private pilot licence and are exempted from obligations regarding medical certificates. A pilot in command is responsible for satisfying themselves that the holder of the private
