Sommario/riassunto

This report details the findings of the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Intitute's evaluation of the epidemiological, toxicological, and aeromedical findings from pilots involved in aircraft-assisted suicides. Case histories, accident information, and the declaration of suicide as the probable cause in the aviation accidents were obtained from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Toxicological information was obtained from the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute's Bioaeronautical Sciences Research Laboratory. Other relevant



information was obtained from medical certification data systems.
