The Volpe Center developed the software that facilitates the administrative management of the program. It will allows users to read a recommendation, comment on how OPS should respond to the recommendation, and view the eventual OPS response to the NTSB recommendation.
Past recommendations have much or all of their history displayed in the database as well.
Since becoming operational in 1992, the AMCS has received and processed FAA aviation medical certification data. An average of 7,000 exams are transmitted by well over 600 AMEs every month. At the AMCD the transmitted exams are decrypted and inserted into the AMCS Host database. The Center-developed HTS was recently upgraded to include problem notification capability directly to the HTS staff. Previously, data errors such as duplicate exams, incorrect exam dates, and duplicate internal records could only be detected by the system administrator.
