FAA Form 8500-8,
Application for Airman Medical Certificate or Airman Medical and
Student Pilot Certificate, is approved contingent upon its uniform
and sensitive implementation by knowledgeable, designated Aviation
Medical Examiners (AME). AME reference documents, agency
communications, and formal AME training workshops should provide
appropriate instruction and guidance on implementation of the
revised form. The FAA should continue to emphasize the need for
discretion in the examiner/applicant relationship consonant with
the agency's aviation safety mission and, further, should ensure
that its own employees as well as designated examiners are
cognizant of, and sensitive to, the concerns of all applicants
regarding disclosure of personal information to a public agency.
Remarks added, effective 01/29/91: The clearance includes
modifications to questions marked as approved changes in this
docket. Other FAA medical forms discussed in the September 1990
justification are also approved without change.
