SECTION Iv

GENERAL AIRMAN POPULATION DATA

This section reflects general data concerning the active airman population.
The data presented are as of December 31, 1981, and cover the preceding

25 months. The 25-month time period was used to describe the active airman
population because a medically certified airman is considered "active" for
a maximum of 25 months after hie last FAA physical examination, i.e.,
regardless of the class of medical certificate issued, it is valid for
third class purposes for a period of time up to 25 months. Those airmen
who have allowed their medical certification to lapse into a time period

greater than 25 months would be considered "inactive" airmen.

Data are presented by class of medical certificate issued and do not include
applications pending or denied. Table IV.A presents data by "effective
status" of medical certification. This refera to the time lapse eince the
certificate was issued as opposed to the class issued. Present FAA regula-
tions stipulate that air transport pilots must be firet class medically
certified at six month intervals, commercial pilots must be second class
medically certified annually, and general aviation airmen must obtain third
class medical certification every two years. Thus, an airman may be first
or second class medically certified and the time lapse since examination

would reduce the “effective atatus" to a lesser class.

SECTION L

AVIATION MEDICAL EXAMINER INFORMATION

This section reflects the activities of the Aviation Medical Examiner
Program during calendar year 1981 with some comparative data for

previous years,

An Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) is a physician authorized by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to perform airman physical
examinations for issuance of FAA medical certificates, These physi-
cians are designated according to the geographical distribution of airmen.
There are also military facilities (installations) designated to perform
FAA airman examinations of military personnel for issuance of second

and third class certificates, A facility or installation, instead of

an individual, is designated in this instance due to frequent rotation

of military medical officers.

Aviation Medical Examiner seminars are held in each region and at
Oklahoma City's Aeronautical Center to acquaint these physicians with
the regulations and procedures governing the issuance of FAA medical

certificates.

MEDICAL CERTIFICATION ACTIVITY SUMMARY
1979-1981

The "Record of Physical Examinations Computer Submissions Summary Report,"
AC 8500-3, was modified during 1969 to reflect the final certification
action for each application performed during the previous year. The
report is produced in August of each year and reflects data for the
previous year,

Includes information requested by the Aeromedical Certification Branch and
inquiries from airmen or regional offices.

Increase due to more efficient detection of these abnormalities by an EKG
technician working closely with AAC-130 EKG personnel and doctors.
