Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
BACKGROUND: Aircrew are subject to periodic medical examinations (PMEs) throughout their careers. These aim to ensure flight safety. AIMS: This paper discusses the history and rationale of screening aircrew. It then considers the ability of the PME to detect abnormalities and predict future in-flight incapacitation. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the current system is of limited value. Selected changes to the content and frequency of aircrew periodic medical examinations could be made without compromising flight safety. |
