REFERRALS AND DENIALS

This section is concerned with those applications for
medical certification which require manual review and

those applications denied medical certification.

These data are presented by calendar year and reflect the
number of rejects, either medical or administrative,

*Class distributions for 1960 through 1964 were compiled by
applying percentages based on the 1964 computer count to actual
applications received per year. The 1965 class distributions were
achieved by applying percentages based on card counts of applications
performed during 1965 to the total receipts for the year. Class
distributions for 1966 through 1968 were based on the percentages
compiled from the Record of Physical Examinations Computer Submission
Summary Report (AC 8500-3).

SECTION I

AVIATION MEDICAL EXAMINER INFORMATION

This section reflects the activities of the Aviation Medical
Examiner Program during calendar year 1968, 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. 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 to
acquaint these physicians with the regulations and procedures

governing the issuance of FAA medical certificates.

SECTION IV

GENERAL AIRMAN POPULATION DATA

This section reflects general data concerning the active
airman population. The data presented are as of December 31,
1968, 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 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. Chart 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 lesser class.

*An application receipt is considered a "new application" if the airman has
made no indication of previous FAA physical examination and if the total flying
time equals the last six months flying time. In 1968, 1,231 or 1.1% new appli-
cations were denied, 1,758 or 1.6% were pending, and 107,002 or 97.3% were
issued for a total of 109,991 new applications.

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

wkekThe significant increase in abnormalities detected on ECGs in 1967 was largely
due to an effort to update applications received prior to 1967 with appropriate
critical ECG codes which were being dropped by the computer process prior to that
time.
