Meet safe medical standards

If there are no peculiarities (medical indications), the aero-medical examiner can issue the medical certificate immediately after approval. If you do not fully meet the requirements, the physician must determine (possibly in consultation with the ILT) whether you can perform the task. The medical examiner can then issue the medical certificate with a restriction. You need a medical certificate to fly a drone independently.
