Abstract
- Medication in a pilot can affect a flight safety. Aircraft accidents have occurred as a result of pilot incapacitation related to disease and/or medication. Medical illnesses and/or medication that are only minor problems in an office work may interfere with safe aircraft operations. Pilots must not only be concerned with the effects of disease on flying ability but also with the possible effect of the medicines utilized to treat the illness in question. They should consult their medical examiner before taking any medicine that may have possible side effects on performance. This paper has information about flight and medications.
