(viewed July 14, 2006)."April 2004.""DOT/FAA/AM-04/06."Includes bibliographical references.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) permits airmen with certain medical conditions or diseases to be medically certified, provided that such action does not compromise aviation safety. The FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine helps guide policy decisions through the study of common medical pathologies, including visual disorders and the use of new ophthalmic devices and refractive procedures by airmen. To perform this function properly, an in-depth knowledge of the airman population is required. This study examined demographic statistics for the civil airman population, including vision pathologies, for the period 1976 to 2001 and their relevance to the clinical care of aviators by eyecare practitioners.Demographics and vision restrictions in civilian pilots VisionAir pilotsHealth and hygieneUnited StatesVision.Air pilotsHealth and hygieneNakagawara Van B1382952Montgomery Ronald W1383389Wood Kathryn J77570United States.Office of Aerospace Medicine.United States.National Technical Information Service.Civil Aerospace Medical Institute.NLMNLMGPOBOOK9910696107603321Demographics and vision restrictions in civilian pilots3543199UNINA
