Subpart B—First-Class Airman

Medical Certificate

§ 67.101

Eligibility.

To be eligible for a first-class airman

medical certificate, and to remain eli-
gible for a first-class airman medical
certificate, a person must meet the re-
quirements of this subpart.

§ 67.103

Eye.

Eye standards for a first-class airman

medical certificate are:

(a) Distant visual acuity of 20/20 or

better in each eye separately, with or
without corrective lenses. If corrective
lenses (spectacles or contact lenses)
are necessary for 20/20 vision, the per-
son may be eligible only on the condi-
tion that corrective lenses are worn
while exercising the privileges of an
airman certificate.

(b) Near vision of 20/40 or better,

Snellen equivalent, at 16 inches in each
eye separately, with or without correc-
tive lenses. If age 50 or older, near vi-
sion of 20/40 or better, Snellen equiva-
lent, at both 16 inches and 32 inches in
each eye separately, with or without
corrective lenses.

necessary for the safe performance of
airman duties.

(d) Normal fields of vision.
(e) No acute or chronic pathological

condition of either eye or adnexa that
interferes with the proper function of
an eye, that may reasonably be ex-
pected to progress to that degree, or
that may reasonably be expected to be
aggravated by flying.

(f) Bifoveal fixation and vergence-

phoria relationship sufficient to pre-
vent a break in fusion under conditions
that may reasonably be expected to
occur in performing airman duties.
Tests for the factors named in this
paragraph are not required except for
persons found to have more than 1
prism diopter of hyperphoria, 6 prism
diopters of esophoria, or 6 prism
diopters of exophoria. If any of these
values are exceeded, the Federal Air
Surgeon may require the person to be
examined by a qualified eye specialist
to determine if there is bifoveal fixa-
tion and an adequate vergence-phoria
relationship. However, if otherwise eli-
gible, the person is issued a medical
certificate pending the results of the
examination.

Ear, nose, throat, and equi-

librium.
