All FAA Aviation Medical Examiners:

The FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine requests your assistance in getting the word to our airmen that your office is open and performing Airman Medical Certificate examinations.

Please include any requirements you have for airmen entering your facility. Methods to distribute information could include telephone calls, emails, mailings, websites, or notices to airports, flight schools and fixed base operators. (Released on June 5, 2020)

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have dramatic consequences throughout the world. As countries struggle to contain the spread of the coronavirus, many national and international scientific, economic, cultural, and sporting events have had to be cancelled or delayed. Accordingly, it is with deep regret that we inform you that the Organization Committee has taken the difficult, but necessary, decision to postpone the First International Conference of Aerospace Medicine, which was to be held in Paris from 24-26 September 2020, to 22-24 September 2022.

Airlines, aviation organisations and their employees were not prepared for a pandemic, like COVID‐19. Most European and international airlines have stopped flying or are focussing on cargo flights, medical and rescue operations or return flights. Most countries have issued strict quarantine and physical distancing measures.
