The Pilots Pandemic

#27: Thoughts on the FAA’s recent instagram post… and other av news.


Listen Later

This week we give you our honest opinions… I mean truly, brutally, honest opinions on the FAA’s Instagram. A recent post on their IG captioned, “@FAA: Regulatory authorities worldwide consider Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) a disqualifying condition for pilots, but proper diagnosis of ADHD is a complex process. Tap the link in our bio” has spread like wildfire through the community and gained over 400 comments in the past week. We answer some follower questions and discuss the recent news of FAA administrator Steve Dickson resigning. Kick back, relax, and prepare for the ultimate roast… hosted by yours truly. (***we will be posting a slide on our Instagram with resources to contact in regards to advocating for Aeromedical reform****) Link for FAA ADHD article:
