volved, finds—
(1) Makes the person unable to safely
perform the duties or exercise the
privileges of the airman certificate ap-
plied for or held; or
(2) May reasonably be expected, for
the maximum duration of the airman
medical certificate applied for or held,
to make the person unable to perform
those duties or exercise those privi-
leges.
§ 67.115

Subpart C—Second-Class Airman
Medical Certificate
§ 67.201
Eligibility.
To be eligible for a second-class air-
man medical certificate, and to remain
eligible for a second-class airman med-
ical certificate, a person must meet the
requirements of this subpart.
§ 67.203
Eye.
Eye standards for a second-class air-
man 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.
(c) Ability to perceive those colors
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.
§ 67.205
Ear, nose, throat, and equi-
librium.
Ear, nose, throat, and equilibrium
standards for a second-class airman
medical certificate are:
(a) The person shall demonstrate ac-
ceptable hearing by at least one of the
following tests:
(1) Demonstrate an ability to hear an
average conversational voice in a quiet
room, using both ears, at a distance of
6 feet from the examiner, with the back
turned to the examiner.
(2) Demonstrate an acceptable under-
standing of speech as determined by
audiometric speech discrimination
testing to a score of at least 70 percent
obtained in one ear or in a sound field
environment.
(3) Provide acceptable results of pure
tone audiometric testing of unaided
hearing acuity according to the fol-
lowing table of worst acceptable
thresholds, using the calibration stand-
ards of the American National Stand-
ards Institute, 1969:
