Internet Resources for Aeromedical and Human Factors Issues in Aviation

摘要

The Virtual Flight Surgeons Web site is designed as a free Internet resource for pilots and AMEs to bookmark as a single comprehensive reference for aeromedical certification information and links to widely recognized authorities in medicine, aerospace medicine and the FAA. Pilots are encouraged to obtain accurate information about the aeromedical implications of specific medical conditions from qualified aviation medicine specialists and authorities. Pilots should not have any reluctance to fully explore and discuss medical concerns with both their treating and aeromedical physicians. VFS physicians feel strongly that accurate and timely information for pilots significantly enhances flight safety and pilot longevity. For those pilots, corporate flight departments and pilot staffing organizations that need ready access to reliable, expert aeromedical information, virtual Flight Surgeons has comprehensive service programs available.
