Over
the last few years, the FAA has considered approval of psychotropic
medications. The present FAA policy prohibits all psychotropic / mood
ameliorating medications. There has been rare isolated approval of certain psychiatric
medications, yet the
agency has approved very few cases and utilizes extremely strict requirements.
The initial presentation of any psychiatric
/ psychological issue requires an evaluation irrespective of medication use. This should be
performed for the FAA by a private physician and reviewed confidentially by an
expert to establish eligibility for
FAA medical
certification. This includes but is not limited to:
FAA psychiatric evaluations must be accomplished in compliance with
specific protocols.
Before documentation is sent to the FAA it should be reviewed by an aeromedical
document expert.
Authorization must be obtained from the
Aeromedical Certification Division of the FAA in Oklahoma City. In most cases,
Aviation Medical Examiners (AME's) cannot approve certification and will defer your
application to Oklahoma City FAA. The deferral process usually takes 4-6 months
without our service.
