Neurologic

Airmen or individuals applying for aeromedical certification with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must meet certain neurological standards set forth under 14 C.F.R §§ 67.109, 67.209, and 67.309 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. If you are applying for medical certification with the FAA and do not meet the standards set forth under these regulations, the FAA will deny your application.

The neurological standards, regardless of whether the applicant is applying for first (1st), second (2nd), or third (3rd) class medical certification, require, in part, that the applicant have no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy, disturbance of consciousness without satisfactory medical explanation of the cause, or a transient loss of control of nervous system functions without satisfactory medical explanation of the cause. Furthermore, applicants must not have any other seizure disorder, disturbance of consciousness, or neurologic condition that the Federal Air Surgeon finds that would make the person unable to safely perform the duties or exercise the privileges of the airman certificate applied for or held.

If your application for airman medical certification with the FAA has been deferred by your Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) or denied by the FAA due to a history of concussion, epilepsy, frequent or severe headache or migraine, insomnia, disturbance of consciousness, seizure disorder, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), transient loss of control of nervous system functions, or any other neurological related matter, The Ison Law Firm is standing by to advocate for your eligibility to hold a medical certificate.
