Publication AbstractsPilots with missing fingers and/or foot components: contemporary certification.Mohler SR.Aviat Space Environ Med 1998; 69:992-4. AbstractWhen an applicant with amputations presents to the Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medical certification, several potential "gates" must be passed. The first gate is the AMEÂ’s impression of the applicantÂ’s reaction and adaption to the loss. The second gate is the operational flight performance demonstration by the applicant, and/or, further clinical evaluation of the applicantÂ’s status, if necessary. Some applicants will pass gate one and become certified. Others may need to progress through the second gate. A few applicants will be unable to transit the gates and will not become certified.
