Civil aeromedical research conducted by the Aviation Medical Service of the Federal Aviation Agency is concerned primarily with (1) elucidating those mental and physical attributes of civil airmen most vital to the safe operation of present and proposed civil aircraft; (2) providing the civil aviation industry, from the designer to the operator, with adequate information relative to the physiological, psychological and medical characteristics of civil aircrew members, passengers, and ground support personnel; (3) determining the means by which human tissues may be protected from injury during civil aircraft accidents; and (4) developing means by which the effects of aging, drugs, fatigue, hypoxia, toxic substances and other factors, can be measured with respect to their influence on performance by civil airmen.
