The FAA is recruiting pilots attending the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo in April 2024 to participate in a paid research study.
For the study, the FAA needs pilots who have flown at least once in the last six months (including training simulator time), and who hold a current FAA medical certificate (not BasicMed).
For pilots holding a Class I or II medical certificate, the FAA is recruiting pilots 60 or older. For pilots holding a Class III medical certificate, the FAA is recruiting pilots 25 or older.
The study session takes about four hours and pays $300, $400, or $500 (depending on medical certification class). Payment is dispersed immediately following participation.
Participation involves completing two computerized cognitive tests related to tasks such as working memory, attention, mental rotation, and multitasking performance.
The purpose of the study is to obtain pilot data for computerized tests. The FAA uses these tests to help recertify pilots for flying following a medical event (e.g., stroke, head injury, certain medication).
The results of this study will help ensure that aeromedical decision-making is based on the most current scientific data, according to agency officials, who note it will contribute to the safety of the National Airspace System.
If you are planning to attend SUN ‘n FUN, you can sign up to participate in the study here.

Is FAA running any research on pilots with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, medication effecting there abilities
It will be a great opportunity for foreign pilots as well. Provision should be given as well.
Highly doubt this is for the betterment of pilots
We’re from the government, and we’re here to help.
“Participation involves completing two computerized cognitive tests related to tasks such as working memory, attention, mental rotation, and multitasking performance.” I might consider doing this, but would like to see our President’s results first.
Or the other guy’s.. ol what’s his name
