Physician Immunity Needed for Reporting Medically Unfit Airmen to the Federal Aviation Administration
Highlights
The physical standards and examinations required of all civilian airmen will not identify all disqualifying medical conditions.
Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.
