Dr. Edwards will discuss the statistics for eventual medical certification, dispelling the myth the FAA wants to deny you because you are old. He will also discuss the reasoning behind requirements for some medical testing - given that the aging population of pilots have a higher likelihood of aero-medically significant cardiovascular, visual and neurological diseases. This population also experiences a higher likelihood of using prescription drugs that potentially affect performance in the cockpit. Advice is given for maintaining the medical certificate and what to do when a deferral occurs. Speaker Bio: Dr. Edwards is the Deputy Regional Flight Surgeon, with 23 years of experience in airman certification, a Board Certified General & Vascular Surgeon and a private pilot. He has been an active FAA Safety Team partner for many years and has conducted numerous outreach discussions in helping Airman understand the medical certification process.
