Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners
CACI Conditions
Conditions AMEs Can Issue (CACI) is a series of conditions which allow AMEs to regular issue if the applicant meets the parameters of the CACI Condition Worksheet. The worksheets provide detailed instructions to the examiner and outline condition-specific requirements for the applicant.
- Review the disposition table BEFORE the CACI worksheet to verify a CACI is required.
- If all the CACI criteria are met and the applicant is otherwise qualified, the AME may issue on the first exam or the first time the condition is reported to the AME without contacting AMCD/RFS. Document the appropriate notes in Block 60 and keep the supporting documents in your files; they do not need to be submitted to the FAA at this time.
- If the requirements are not met, the AME must defer the exam and send the supporting documents to the FAA.
