The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to give a copy of an airman’s full medical record—including relevant arrest and court records—to any clinician evaluating that airman’s application for a medical certificate. This must be done before the evaluation is finished and is intended to help assess or monitor substance dependence, as defined in 14 CFR 67.107(a)(4)(ii), 67.207(a)(4)(ii), and 67.307(a)(4)(ii).
