Objective:
The objective of our
Medical Assistance program is to help pilots improve their health awareness,
avoid disabilities where possible and - when disabled - get them back on flight
status as soon as possible, within the parameters of aviation safety. The
benefit of our services to pilots is simple - they stay on their career path,
or get back on it with a minimum of financial loss. The benefit to the
Association is consistent professional services for their members and greatly
reduced lost time due to disabilities.

Summary:
Our experience tells us that
our Medical Assistance can be critical to the success of a pilot's career.
Since 1951, we have been working with pilots, the F.A.A. and the aviation
medical community to minimize the impact of disability on flying careers. Our
experience tells us that, in the vast majority of cases, when a pilot isn't
back on flight status within 18 to 24 months, it is likely that the pilot will
never go back to the cockpit. Therefore, aggressive and supportive Medical
Assistance is critical - and the sooner the better. This approach to pilot
assistance has allowed us to remain viable in a business where others have come
and gone and few others have endured. Our history demonstrates that Medical
Assistance is both critical and effective! Our years of experience in medical
assistance and supervision of claimants, definitely show that we get pilots
back on flight status sooner than when unassisted. Losses will be negated when
we help pilots avoid disabilities and significantly minimized when we assist
pilots back to the cockpit 3 months, 6 months or a year earlier than might
otherwise be the case. On occasion, we'll help a pilot back where they would
otherwise have been out permanently. In those situations, the gains are
immeasurable.
