Alarming Consequences of Not Employing Authorized Medical Examiners in Authorized Flight Training Organizations

Abstract

While there seem too many controversial subjects and no apparent developments in aviation training in Turkey, pilot training ignores some new apprehensions. A survey of 87 pilot candidates at our aviation institution finds adverse mental and physical conditions being self-medicated and unexamined. Pilot training organizations should be legally required to employ authorized medical examiners to prevent accidents made by candidates flying under the influence.
