meet the requirements of paragraphs (b) through (f) of this section.
(b) Eye: (1) Distant visual acuity of 20/20 or better in each eye
separately, without correction; or of at least 20/100 in each eye separately
corrected to 20/20 or better with corrective lenses (glasses or contact
lenses) in which case the applicant may be qualified only on the condition
that he wears those corrective lenses while exercising the privileges of his
airman certificate.

airman duties.
Tests for the factors named in paragraph (b)(6) of this section are not
required except for applicants found to have more than one prism diopter of
hyperphoria, six prism diopters of esophoria, or six prism diopters of
exophoria. If these values are exceeded, the Federal Air Surgeon may require

section, "alcoholism" means a condition in which a person's intake of alcohol
is great enough to damage physical health or personal or social functioning,
or when alcohol has become a prerequisite to normal functioning.
(d) Drug dependence. As used in this section, "drug dependence" means a
condition in which a person is addicted to or dependent on drugs other than
alcohol, tobacco, or ordinary caffeine-containing beverages, as evidenced by

fortieth, he must, on the first examination after his thirty-fifth birthday,
show an absence of myocardial infarction on electrocardiographic examination.
(3) If the applicant has passed his fortieth birthday, he must annually
show an absence of myocardial infarction on electrocardiographic examination.
(4) Unless the adjusted maximum readings apply, the applicant's reclining
blood pressure may not be more than the maximum reading for his age group in
the following table:

of the Federal Air Surgeon that the duties authorized by the class of medical
certificate applied for can be performed without endangering air commerce
during the period in which the certificate would be in force. The Federal Air
Surgeon may authorize a special medical flight test, practical test, or
medical evaluation for this purpose.
(b) The Federal Air Surgeon may consider the applicant's operational
experience and any medical facts that may affect the ability of the applicant

requirement of this part; and
(2) The prognosis derived from professional consideration of all available
information regarding the airman.
(c) In determining whether the special issuance of a third-class medical
certificate should be made to an applicant, the Federal Air Surgeon considers
the freedom of an airman, exercising the privileges of a private pilot
certificate, to accept reasonable risks to his or her person and property
that are not acceptable in the exercise of commercial or airline transport
privileges, and, at the same time, considers the need to protect the public

to the applicant in coordination with the Director, Flight Standards Service
or the Director's designee.
(e) An applicant who has been issued a medical certificate under this
section based on a special medical flight or practical test need not take the
test again during later physical examinations unless the Federal Air Surgeon
determines that the physical deficiency has become enough more pronounced to
require another special medical flight or practical test.
(f) The authority of the Federal Air Surgeon under this section is also
exercised by the Manager, Aeromedical Certification Branch, Civil Aeromedical
Institute, and each Regional Flight Surgeon.
(Secs. 313(a), 601, and 602, Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (49

under this part;
(4) Any alteration of any medical certificate under this part.
(b) The commission by any person of an act prohibited under paragraph (a)
of this section is a basis for suspending or revoking any airman, ground
instructor, or medical certificate or rating held by that person.

This subpart prescribes the general procedures that apply to the issue of
medical certificates for airmen.
Sec. 67.23 Medical examinations: Who may give.
(a) First class. Any aviation medical examiner who is specifically
designated for the purpose may give the examination for the first class
certificate. Any interested person may obtain a list of these aviation
medical examiners, in any area, from the FAA Regional Administrator of the
region in which the areas is located.

Sec. 67.25 Delegation of authority.
(a) The authority of the Administrator, under section 602 of the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958 (49 U.S.C. 1422), to issue or deny medical certificates
is delegated to the Federal Air Surgeon, to the extent necessary to--
(1) Examine applicants for and holders of medical certificates for
compliance with applicable medical standards; and
(2) Issue, renew, or deny medical certificates to applicants and holders
based upon compliance or noncompliance with applicable medical standards.
Subject to limitations in this chapter, the authority delegated in paragraphs
(a)(1) and (2) of this section is also delegated to aviation medical
examiners and to authorized representatives of the Federal Air Surgeon within
the FAA.
(b) The authority of the Administrator, under subsection 314(b) of the
Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (49 U.S.C. 1355(b)), to reconsider the action of
an aviation medical examiner is delegated to the Federal Air Surgeon, the
Chief, Aeromedical Certification Division, and each Regional Flight Surgeon.

(d)(2)(ii), or (f)(2), Sec. 67.15(d)(1)(ii), (d)(2)(ii), or (f)(2), or Sec.
67.17(d)(1)(ii), (d)(2)(ii), or (f)(2), any action taken under this paragraph
other than by the Federal Air Surgeon is subject to reconsideration by the
Federal Air Surgeon. A certificate issued by an aviation medical examiner is
considered to be affirmed as issued unless an FAA official named in this
paragraph on his own initiative reverses that issuance within 60 days after
the date of issuance. However, if within 60 days after the date of issuance
that official requests the certificate holder to submit additional medical
information, he may on his own initiative reverse the issuance within 60 days
after he receives the requested information.
(c) The authority of the Administrator, under section 609 of the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958 (49 U.S.C. 1429), to re-examine any civil airman, to the
extent necessary to determine an airman's qualification to continue to hold
an airman medical certificate, is delegated to the Federal Air Surgeon and
his authorized representatives within the FAA.

and in duplicate to the Federal Air Surgeon, Attention: Manager, Aeromedical
Certification Division, Federal Aviation Administration, Post Office Box
25082, Oklahoma City, Okla. 73125, for reconsideration of that denial. If he
does not apply for reconsideration during the 30-day period after the date of
the denial, he is considered to have withdrawn his application for a medical
certificate.
(b) The denial of a medical certificate--
(1) By an aviation medical examiner is not a denial by the Administrator
under section 602 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (49 U.S.C. 1422);
(2) By the Federal Air Surgeon is considered to be a denial by the
Administrator under that section of the Act; and
(3) By the Manager, Aeromedical Certification Division, AAM-300, or a
Regional Flight Surgeon is considered to be a denial by the Administrator
under the Act except where the applicant does not meet the standards of Sec.
67.13(d)(1)(ii), (d)(2)(ii), or (f)(2), Sec. 67.15(d)(1)(ii), (d)(2)(ii), or
(f)(2), or Sec. 67.17(d)(1)(ii), (d)(2)(ii), or (f)(2).
(c) Any action taken under Sec. 67.25(b) that wholly or partly reverses the
issue of a medical certificate by an aviation medical examiner is the denial
of a medical certificate under paragraph (b) of this section.
(d) If the issue of a medical certificate is wholly or partly reversed upon
reconsideration by the Federal Air Surgeon, the Manager, Aeromedical
Certification Division, AAM-300, or a Regional Flight Surgeon, the person
holding that certificate shall surrender it, upon request of the FAA.

specified military posts, stations, and facilities, as aviation medical
examiners.
(b) An aviation medical examiner described in paragraph (a) of this section
may give physical examinations to applicants for FAA medical certificates who
are on active duty or who are, under Department of Defense medical programs,

Whenever the Administrator finds that additional medical information or
history is necessary to determine whether an applicant for or the holder of a
medical certificate meets the medical standards for it, he requests that
person to furnish that information or authorize any clinic, hospital, doctor,
or other person to release to the Administrator any available information or
records concerning that history. If the applicant, or holder, refuses to
provide the requested medical information or history or to authorize the
release so requested, the Administrator may suspend, modify, or revoke any
medical certificate that he holds or may, in the case of an applicant, refuse
to issue a medical certificate to him.
