Episode Synopsis
Send us a textEpisodes of syncope or loss of consciousness can result from something as simple as a brief fainting episode -- up to the level of a severe head injury. How it's documented and the testing required for FAA purposes can be critical. On this episode, we discuss the aeromedical implications of syncope and stand down times depending on the various severity of head injuries as well as a less common condition known as transient global amnesia (TGA). What testing is required and what information will the pilot with a loss of consciousness need to track down to have a successful journey towards flying again?
