Article 147 Incapacity of air traffic controllersI1
United Kingdom
Every holder of an air traffic controller’s licence granted under article 144 who—
suffers any personal injury or illness involving incapacity to undertake the functions to which the licence relates throughout a period of 20 consecutive days; or
has reason to believe that she is pregnant;
must inform the Governor in writing of such injury, illness or pregnancy as soon as possible.
An air traffic controllers’ medical certificate ceases to be in force on the expiry of the period of injury or illness referred to in paragraph (1)(a) and comes into force again (provided it has not expired)—
upon the holder being medically examined under arrangements made by the Governor and pronounced fit to resume the functions under the licence; or
upon the Governor exempting the holder from the requirement of a medical examination subject to such conditions as the Governor may think fit.
