Pilot Medical Disclosure Decision Making Survey

Document
Privacy - FAA - Pilot Medical Disclosure Decision-Making Survey - PIA - 2026.pdf

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) is conducting the Pilot Medical Disclosure Decision Making Survey. The survey is used to conduct a research study about how pilots make decisions regarding the disclosure of health conditions to the FAA. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of pilot experiences, concerns, and thought processes regarding medical disclosure. The goal is to inform efforts aimed at reducing unnecessary barriers and burdens in the reporting process. The survey is being conducted under the authority of Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (49 U.S.C. § 44507) and Aviation Safety Research Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-591). The FAA is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the Pilot Medical Disclosure Decision Making Survey in accordance with Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 because the FAA contractor and sub-contractor conducting the survey collects Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from pilots that includes name, email, and home addresses.
