When will aircrew members consult an aeromedical provider?
Anytime a physical or psychological condition is suspected or known to be detrimental to the safe performance of flight duty
When they have participated in activities or received treatment for which flying restrictions may be appropriate
Including exposure to exogenous factors listed in AR 40-8 as well as any treatment or procedure performed by a non-aeromedical provider
