📑 Policy Reform Efforts

We’re collaborating with lawmakers and aviation leaders to build a more humane, science-based FAA medical certification system—one that respects all pilots, including those flagged for alcohol, drugs, SSRIs, trauma, or suspicion without diagnosis.

🔧 Top Reform Goals

  • ⏱ Time-limit monitoring based on documented recovery—not arbitrary timelines
  • 🔓 End monopolistic control—allow treatment outside the HIMS network
  • 🧪 Use science-based testing with independent verification and due process
  • 📢 Ensure transparency by publishing data, protocols, and appeal outcomes
  • 🛑 Prohibit retaliation against pilots who speak up or seek alternative oversight
  • ⚖️ Enact legislation to reform FAA medical policy and protect pilot rights

🧭 Our Proposed Replacement: AEROPath

As part of our vision for a better path forward, we’ve developed AEROPathAviation Evaluation & Recovery Oversight Pathway—a science-based, transparent alternative to the current HIMS system.

  • 🔬 Overseen by independent medical professionals—not airline sponsors
  • 🧪 Evidence-based testing protocols with clearly defined endpoints
  • ⏱ Tailored monitoring timelines based on documented recovery, not arbitrary durations
  • 🔒 Tamper-proof third-party compliance tracking to protect both pilots and regulators
  • 📄 Full transparency and due process, ensuring rights are respected

AEROPath prioritizes safety without compromising dignity. It eliminates the secrecy, coercion, and conflicts of interest that plague the current model. Want to help us bring this reform to life? Contact us or join our mission.
