FAA investigating nearly 5K pilots accused of hiding conditions that would make them unfit to fly: report
Fox News
The Federal Aviation Administration said nearly 5,000 pilots are under investigation for allegedly falsifying their medical records to conceal medical issues.
Veterans Affairs investigators initially came across the irregularities more than two years ago, but the FAA had not publicly revealed several aspects of the probe, the outlet reported. About 4,800 pilots have been investigated so far, and half of the cases have since been closed.
The agency had been probing pilots who might have submitted incorrect or false information as part of their medical applications, FAA spokesman Matthew Lehner said in a statement to the outlet. He said 60 of these pilots "posed a clear danger to aviation safety" and were not allowed to fly while they records were reviewed.
