Post-COVID-19 Neurocognitive Screening in Routine Pilot Aeromedical Evaluations

Airline pilots, together with international aviation psychologists and aviation medicine experts, endorsed the safety-critical importance and value of screening pilots for post-COVID-19 impairments. Given the numerous practical implications of implementing such a strategy, we recommend that pilots be screened for potential post-COVID-19 neurocognitive impairments. A larger study is necessary to validate these preliminary findings and recommendations. Beka SG, Griffiths RF, Myers JA, Skirrow PM.
