A new Pilot Minute video from the FAA looks at mental health, with FAA Air Surgeon Susan Northrup noting that the FAA’s approach is built around the three Es: Education, early intervention, and evolution of standards.
She goes on to say that there is a lot of misinformation about the FAA and mental health.
“The truth is, many pilots fly safely with treated mental health conditions,” she says. “Understanding the real process reduces fear and helps you make informed decisions early in your career. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure, reach out early.”
