Jason,
ASIC is required even to step out onto the tarmac at any security controlled airport ie Parafield and Mildura- so this pilot has had a background check to be issued one and able to do this on their own as Adam says.
I was just shocked that he climbed after he felt unwell- in training one is always taught if feeling unwell especially given single pilot ops to land asap- not climb where the airs thinner and hes likely to have suffered a shallower breathing rate.. I guess well have to wait for the ATSB investigation!
