Aeromedical Information Sharing and Data Analysis Public Private Partnership – Phase 2

The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA’s) Office of Aerospace Medicine aims to collaborate with Part 121 operators by FY26 to modernize pilot medical certification policies through a Safety Management System framework. Currently, the FAA lacks evidence linking pilot medical hazards to proactive safety outcomes (degraded performance), relying instead on historical events like accidents or incapacitations. To address this, the Office sponsored a phase 1 feasibility study for a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between FAA and industry to advance aeromedical safety. That study confirmed the viability and industry support for a focused PPP, the Aeromedical Certification Collaborative (ACC), and proposed a collaboration framework and an initial study. Phase 2 will operationalize this framework by conducting one or two ACC-defined studies and formalizing how the collaborative works together as needed to sustain this unique and impactful research partnership.
