| Abstract |
The various national interpretations of the aeromedical standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization have resulted in a variety of approaches to the development of national aeromedical policy, and consequently a relative lack of harmonization. However, in many areas of aviation, safety management systems have been recently introduced and may represent a way forward. This article discusses the main areas where safety management principles can help improve the use of aeromedical data to enhance flight safety. |
