U.S. Navy Aeromedical Reference and Waiver Guide, 27 April 2020
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Aviation physical standards ensure the most qualified personnel are accepted and retained by Naval Aviation. The intent is to prevent medical, physical, or psychological conditions from adversely affecting flight performance, safety, or mission. Standards differ between applicants and designated personnel, and among different flying classes based on risk assessment. Applicant standards are the most rigorous to ensure candidates are capable of training completion and continued performance as a designated Naval Aviator in the demanding environment. Designated aviation standards ensure consistent flight performance, safety, and mission completion. Disqualification removes an individual based on risks associated with a medical condition, while waivers of policy allow retaining an individual based on careful risk assessment, risk control measures, and mission requirements. All conditions may be considered for waiver to preserve the aviator in the mission; however, certain conditions, treatments, and medications are generally not conducive to aviation service due to a likely adverse impact on health, safety, or mission completion. Careful risk assessment and mission consideration by the Aeromedical Officer are necessary to assure time and resources are applied appropriately in all cases, but especially where risks make the likelihood of a waiver negligible. Additional guidance can be found in the various sections of this ARWG and communication with NAMI is encouraged before expending resources, especially on cases where it would be clear to a designated Aeromedical Officer that the case is atypical and/or carries an elevated risk.
1.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Physical standards are published and maintained in the Manual of the Medical Department (MMD) Chapter 15. All applicants must meet general commissioning and/or enlistment standards in addition to aviation standards. If an applicant does not meet these standards, the applicant has a disqualifying defect and a waiver of standards is required. Designated personnel must remain fit for full duty and continue to meet the aviation standards published in the MMD. Any medical defect, disqualifying diagnosis, or chronic medication use requires a waiver of standards.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE
The purpose of this guide is to offer the Flight Surgeon, Aeromedical Examiner, Aeromedical Physician Assistant, AVT, and aviator an additional resource to quickly and efficiently look up standards. The Aeromedical Reference and Waiver Guide (ARWG) is NOT an inclusive document, but only highlights and gives guidance for the most common diagnoses and standards. The MMD is the proper document to reference for disqualifying conditions and physical standards. Flight Surgeons, Aeromedical Examiners, Aeromedical Physician Assistants and AVTs should be intimately familiar with the MMD Chapter 15 and it is suggested that they have access to a copy when making Aeromedical dispositions.
