?? Today, we congratulate the Federal Aviation Administration on receiving recommendations from the Aviation Medical Clearances Aviation Rule Making Committee (ARC)! These recommendations aim to improve aviation safety by addressing barriers to reporting mental health issues for pilots and air traffic controllers.
As part of this respected panel, we were honored to contribute to this vital effort. The collaborative work of industry associations, pilot and air traffic controller organizations, academia, and medical professionals highlights our shared commitment to safety and well-being in aviation.
With the report's release, we commend our colleagues for their dedication amidst tight timelines. Now, as the FAA moves towards implementation, we stand ready to support this critical phase.
Let's continue prioritizing mental health awareness in the flight training industry, ensuring a safer and healthier future for all involved in aviation. Stay tuned for updates on the FAA's next steps! ?? #aviationsafety #mentalhealth #FAA
