Clause 68

The Pilotage Committee shall examine candidates for employment as authorised pilots and on being satisfied as to a candidate’s general fitness and competency, including physical fitness, to act as an authorised pilot may, on behalf of the Authority, issue to him a licence to act as such, and such licence may contain such conditions as the Committee may think fit.

Every authorised pilot shall, whenever the Pilotage Committee considers that owing to changed conditions or for any other sufficient reason the further testing of the knowledge, efficiency or physical fitness of any such pilot is necessary, present himself for further examination, and shall in every such case first deposit with the Committee his licence issued by the Committee on behalf of the Authority to be returned or cancelled by the Committee on behalf of the Authority as the result of such test or examination.

No person shall continue to employ as an authorised pilot any pilot whose licence to act as such is cancelled as the result of any test or examination carried out or held under subsection (2).
