Abstract:

This study critically assesses the use of the Statistical Handbook to evaluate mental health conditions and SSRI use among airmen in relation to flight clearance. The handbook, limited to active airmen, can be misleading for anyone needing to evaluate clearance rates of airmen, as it excludes denied cases and includes historical pathology codes. This analysis focuses on clearance rates of applicants reporting current or past mental health conditions and SSRI use. Methods. Medical certification records from 2015–2020 were selected from the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) medical certification database. Medical conditions were derived from a comprehensive compilation of both recent and historical medical certificates. Medical applications from calendar year 2020 were examined for final certificate decision. Retention of this cohort of airmen were calculated and compared to a previously analyzed cohort of active airmen in 2009.
