been issued prior to the most recent examination. Tabulations were based on an indication of a waiver
in the class issued code or the presence of 8 waiver number.

** Basis for percentages is the number of active airmen by sex within each class. Percent of total is
computed using the total male or female population.

MEDICAL CERTIFICATION ACTIVITY SUMMARY
1991-1993

* An application receipt is considered a "new application" if the airman has made no indication of
previous FAA physical examination and if total flying time equals last six months flying time.
Of examinations performed in 1992, 1,215 or 1.7% new applications were denied, 693 or 1.0%
were pending, and 67,711 or 97.3% were issued for a total of 69,619 new applications.

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 Division and inquiries from
airmen or regional offices.

| SECTION I |

TION MED! EXAMINE) IRMATI

This section reflects the activities of the Aviation Medical Examiner Program during
calendar year 1993 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 physicians 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.

AME seminars are held in each region and at Oklahoma City's Civil Aeromedical
Institute to acquaint these physicians with the regulations and procedures governing
the issuance of FAA medical certificates.

| SECTION IV

E L_AIRM. PUL D.

This section reflects general data concerning the active airman population. The data
presented are as of December 31, 1993, 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
his/her last FAA physical examination, i.c., regardless of the class of medical
certificate issued, it is valid for third class purposes fora 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 refers to the time lapse since the certificate was issued as
opposed to the class issued. Present FAA regulations stipulate that air transport
pilots must be first 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 status" to a lower class.
