Results of the MRS Online Survey
An online survey was conducted in May on DAME views about the MRS-online system for submission of Aviation medical assessments. Thank you to all who responded. We received 156 responses and this consisted of 38% who are current users and 62% who use the paper system. CASA received extremely valuable feedback from responses. Some of the issues had already been identified by CASA and others were new considerations.
