Aviation Medication Transparency Act: Public list of approved drugs for airmen.
This Act mandates the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to publish and maintain a publicly available list of medications that can be safely prescribed to airmen for medical certification purposes. The goal is to increase transparency, allowing pilots and air traffic controllers to easily determine which medications are permitted or prohibited, directly impacting their ability to maintain their professional licenses. The list must be comprehensive, user-friendly, and updated annually.
Key points
The FAA must publish and annually update a public, accessible list of medications approved and prohibited for aviation personnel (pilots, air traffic controllers).
The list must include medications designated as 'Do Not Issue' and specify the average time an airman must limit duties to stabilize on a new medication.
This information must be developed in consultation with pilots, air traffic controllers, and aeromedical working groups to ensure its practicality and usefulness.
