PILOT MENTAL HEALTH
1. The Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) has recently reviewed the subject of mental
health in pilots and has requested ICAO to facilitate the distribution of the recommendations of its expert
working group. These recommendations are outlined in the attached letter from AsMA to ICAO, dated
4 September 2012.
2. ICAO agrees with AsMA that more attention should be given to mental health issues in
pilots and the recently revised Manual of Civil Aviation Medicine (Doc 8984) contains relevant guidance.
Part I, Chapter 2 (Medical requirements) and Part III, Chapter 9 (Mental fitness) refer
(http://www.icao.int/publications/Documents/8984_cons_en.pdf).
3. The letter from AsMA also includes information and references to relevant subject matter
that medical assessors and medical examiners may find useful.
