SUMMARY
The annual denial rate for airline pilots is 4.3 per 1,000 active airline pilots, increasing from a rate of 1.0 per 1,000 in the 25-29 age interval to 16.2 per 1,000 in the 55-59 age interval. Cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric, and the miscellaneous pathology category comprise 78% of the causes for medical disqualification. These problems rarely result in disqualification before the age of 45 years, while above this age, the rate increases rapidly, primarily because of cardiovascular disease. The mean age of active airline pilots is decreasing, while the mean age of denied airline pilots is increasing.
The overall highest causes for denial by pathology series are :
(1) cardiovascular, (2) neuropsychiatric- and (3) the miscellaneous pathology category, with annual denial rates per 1,000 active airline pilots of 2.2, 1.8, and 1.1 respectively. The highest causes for denial by specific pathology are : (1) coronary artery disease ; (2) use of disqualifying medications ; (3) psychoneurotic disorders ; (4) myocardial infarction ; and (5) disturbance of consciousness. Neuropsychiatric disease is the major cause for denial in the 30-34, 35-39, 40-44 and
45-49 age intervals. Cardiovascular disease is the most prevalent cause for denial in the
50-54 and 55-59 age intervals.
