A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF AEROMEDICAL CERTIFICATION DENIAL ACTIONS JANUARY 1961-DECEMBER 1967,

Abstract

The study quantifies several unknowns and/or uncertainties with respect to medical and general descriptive attributes of airmen denied medical certification. Data are presented concerning age, sex, occupation, total flying time, and medical characteristics of denied airmen. Certification actions at the appellate level are discussed to include medical problems associated with appeals to the Federal Air Surgeon and the FAA Administrator. An analysis of mortality experience among airmen exempted from the regulations due to cardiovascular problems is also presented. (Author)
