Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners
Application Process for Medical Certification
Applicant History - Item 18. Medical History
e. Hay fever or allergy
The applicant should report frequency and duration of symptoms, and whether they have been incapacitating by the
condition. Mention should also be made of treatment and side effects. The Examiner should inquire whether the
applicant has ever experienced any “ear block”, barotitis, or any other symptoms that could interfere with
aviation safety? Barosinusitis is of concern and should also be ruled out.

Item 26).
