the disqualification may resolve or be medically waiverable
within 12 months (365 days) the student may be recommended for
retention. The 12-month window begins on the date that the
student received a disqualifying diagnosis or was determined to
be NPQ; i.e., initial date of illness, injury, or
incapacitation. Students are considered NAA if diagnosed as
having a personality disorder or prominent maladaptive
personality traits affecting flight safety, mission completion,
or crew coordination. Because a finding of NAA is not
waiverable, the medical attrition process shall commence at the
time the student is determined to be NAA.
c. The following actions shall be undertaken when students are
medically grounded for a period of 14 or more continuous days.
(1) Students who are medically grounded and not progressing
in the training syllabus shall be seen by the FS every 14 days
unless the student is medically evacuated or convalescing in a
location remote from medical treatment facility of record.
These 14-day evaluations will be continued until the student is
returned to a flight status or is formally discontinued from
flight training. These FS evaluations should be conducted by
the member's attending FS whenever possible and shall be
documented in the member's health record. These 14-day medical
follow-ups shall, at a minimum, document the following
information:
(a) Current diagnosis and condition
(b) Medical management
(c) Member's response to treatment
(d) Physical findings
(e) Prognosis
(f) Pending studies, procedures, consultations or
treatment
(g) Pertinent lab or other data regarding the case
(h) Anticipated return to flight duty
(i) FSs shall advise the student's Commanding Officer
concerning the student's condition and prognosis after each 14-
day evaluation.
