FAA Issues New Sleep Apnea Guidelines
Guidelines consider a number of risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea.

The FAA issued new medical guidelines on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to its aviation medical examiners on March 2. Revising earlier plans to require OSA screening for all pilots with a body mass index of 40 or greater before issuance of a medical certificate, the new guidelines instead factor in an integrated assessment of history, symptoms and physical/clinical findings.
