History of Unconsciousness: Pilots Seeking Airman Medical Certification
Unconsciousness for any reason
Pilot Applicants must answer yes or no to having a history of unconsciousness.
Describe any loss of consciousness. Focus on:
- Cause
- Witnesses
- Treatment
- Evidence of Recurrence
18.c. Unconsciousness for any reason. The applicant should describe the event(s) to determine the primary organ system responsible for the episode, witness statements, initial treatment, and evidence of recurrence or prior episode. Although the regulation states, "an unexplained disturbance of consciousness is disqualifying," it does not mean to imply that the applicant can be certificated if the etiology is identified, because the etiology may also be disqualifying in and of itself. (See Item 46 Neurologic).
