Description

When we fly, we leave our normal earthly environment behind, and enter a new world of changing forces, pressures and emotional experiences. To cope with this new environment we need to understand how these changes affect us physically and mentally. This section provides information on medical certification and on a variety of aeromedical factors related to flight activities.
