Excerpts from AME Guide |
AME Assisted - All Classes
Bladder Cancer
Examiners may re-issue an airman medical certificate under the provisions of an Authorization, if the applicant provides the following:
- An Authorization granted by the FAA; and
- A current status report performed within 90 days that must include all the required followup items and studies as listed in the Authorization letter and that confirms absence of recurrent disease.
The AME must defer to the AMCD or Region if:
- There has been any recurrence of the cancer; or
- Any new treatment is initiated.
AME Assisted Special Issuance (AASI) is a process whereby the FAA delegates to AMEs the ability to re-issue an airman medical certificate under the provisions of an Authorization for Special Issuance of a Medical Certificate (Authorization) to an applicant who has a medical condition that is disqualifying under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 67.
A staff FAA physician provides the initial certification decision and grants the Authorization in accordance with 14 CFR § 67.401. The Authorization letter is accompanied by attachments that specify the information that treating physician(s) must provide for the re-issuance determination. If this is a first time issuance of an Authorization for the disease/condition, and the applicant has all of the requisite medical information necessary for a determination, the AME must defer and submit all of the documentation to the AMCD or RFS for the initial determination.
