The repercussions of lying to the FAA are significant. The stresses of being a pilot—away from family and working an inconsistent schedule—can be strenuous.

This National Transportation Safety Board summit should be very interesting. Most interesting is to see accident investigation auhorities stepping up for health determinants of human performance and aerospace safety, specially in an open forum. -“Navigating Mental Health in Aviation.” The summit's purpose is to examine the unintended consequences of the current system for evaluating mental fitness in the aviation workforce, identify how we can better support those in the aviation industry, and ultimately make aviation safer for all.- Looking forward to it. #aerospacemedicine #humanperformance #mentalhealth #accidentinvestigation #aerospacesafety #NTSB #crewhealth

An Extremely interesting article on mental health in aviation, to remind us that behind the uniform there is always a story that no one knows.   Alan Hauser, a student in the Usa at the University of North Dakota John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, before committing suicide in his Piper on October 18, 2021, wrote to his parents: "I want to seek help more than anything. If I try, I will have to give up aviation [...] If there's anything you can do for me, get the FAA to change the rules on pilots seeking help for their mental health. I know it would change a lot of things for the better and help a lot of people."
No one knew that John had a history of depression and mental health problems.   Troy Merritt, a first officer for United Airlines, a year earlier had decided to ground himself and seek treatment for depression and anxiety: "Taking an antidepressant can be very difficult: months and years without job, waiting for the certification process, and the possibility of never being able to fly again [...] If the barriers in place today had not been there, I know I would have sought treatment earlier." 
Laila Stein, a recent graduate of Western Michigan University's College of Aviation, CFI at Jeff Air Pilot Services, devoted her thesis to aviation students' perceptions of the FAA's rules on 'getting health help' by finding how negatively it affects their desire to seek professional care.   Homendy, president of the NTSB, says the stigma around mental wellness is real: "no one should have to think twice about their job before seeking help." The safety risk comes from a culture of silence about mental health. In contrast, a culture that empowers people to get the care they deserve to be healthy in mind and body will strengthen safety."   Quay Snyder, president and CEO of Virtual Flight Surgeons, says that exacerbating this is the lack of aviation-savvy mental health professionals. There is a need to find and encourage a more to go into that discipline. #mentalhealth #aviationpsychology #mentalwellbeing https://lnkd.in/dmCMpzdR
