Part 67--Medical Regulations

Medical problems are often double stressors for pilots and controllers. Not only is your health in jeopardy, but your career and passion may also be at risk. As with any complex and high stakes situation, you should try to learn as much about the subject as possible, and are site is packed with relevant information, but FlightPhysical.com strongly recommends that you find an AME to help coach you through the important considerations, medical checklists and specialized work-ups required for your particular situation.

As mentioned, hundreds of thousands of pilots have faced seemingly unsolvable health problems...you are not alone! With patience, knowledge and persistence, it may be possible to get a waiver or "special issuance" and climb back into the cockpit. For your and the public's safety, the FAA has devised well-defined pathways for demonstrating fitness for flight. The FAA refers to these pathways as "Disease Protocols," and these are basically "checklists" must be followed prior to strapping back in the front seat. Pick a category above to review protocols for a specific condition or category of disease, or you can start by examining the federal regulations (CFR Part 67).
