Dr Pooshan Navathe, head of the much-maligned CASA Aviation Medical section (AVMED) will leave the position in 2015.
Navathe announced the news in an internal newsletter to CASA Designated Aviation Medical Examiners (DAMEs) dated November 2014.
"I have decided that it is time that AvMed is led by a different leader," he wrote. "As we get a new Director, it seems appropriate that we renew this area of CASA as well.
"Accordingly I will be moving on from CASA in the new year. More details about the arrangements of CASA AvMed are being finalised and I will provide more details in the next newsletter."
More to come.
