- What it does
FAA proposes to amend its regulations to allow applicants with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus to apply for airman medical certification that may be issued at the time of their medical examination instead of requiring Special Issuance review by FAA. This action would reduce the burden associated with the process of review for Authorization for Special Issuance while recognizing that modern medical advancements have significantly improved the manageability of certain forms of diabetes.
