Key Takeaways:

Would you like to spend part of Sun ’n Fun getting paid to take part in a research project to measure cognitive function in the aviator population?

The FAA’s Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI), which is the agency’s wing for medical certification, research, education, and occupational health, is looking for 260 pilots to help establish a baseline of knowledge. A similar call to action was made at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, last year and several hundred pilots participated.
