Aerospace medical examiners

Aerospace medical examiners are specially trained doctors who assess the health and fitness of pilots and air traffic controllers. They evaluate physical and mental health, conduct medical tests, and review medical history to ensure individuals are capable of safely operating aircraft or managing air traffic. Their goal is to prevent health issues that could compromise aviation safety, maintaining high standards for personnel in the aviation industry. These exams are often required periodically to renew licenses and ensure ongoing fitness for duty.
