Disease Protocols

The following conditions require approval by the FAA and an Airman Medical Examiner (AME) cannot issue you a certificate until this is done. If you bring in the information required by the protocol at the time of your exam the AME will forward the reports along with your exam to the FAA. Assuming you are otherwise qualified and satisfy the protocol requirements the FAA may issue a certificate under the SI (Special issuance) process.
