Requirement as structured

Physical disabilities that constitute grounds for the revocation or suspension of a Remote Pilot Competency Certificate (技能証明) include blindness, loss of or complete loss of function in all four limbs, or any other disability causing a lack of cognitive or operational ability necessary for safe drone operation (unless mitigated by certificate conditions).
