Description
The ARC will provide a forum for the United States aviation community to discuss and provide recommendations to the FAA that break down the barriers that prevent pilots from reporting and seeking care for mental health issues. The ARC is also tasked with considering the same concerns about medical clearances for FAA air traffic controllers because the same disclosure issues exist with those personnel and can impact safety.
