What form is the medical recommendation for flying duty?

• A. DD Form 2992
• B. DD Form 2807-1
• C. SF 86
• D. DD Form 93

Answer: (A)

The main concept is that aviation medical clearance is documented on a dedicated form that records the clinician’s formal recommendation for a service member’s flying status. The DD Form 2992, Medical Recommendation for Flying Duty, captures the flight surgeon’s determination of whether the individual is medically fit to perform flight duties, and it notes any limitations, waivers, or required follow-up. This form is the specific vehicle used to communicate aviation-specific fitness decisions within the military, ensuring clear, official guidance for flight status and any restrictions.

This is distinct from other medical documentation. The DD Form 2807-1 records a service member’s medical history, a broad baseline used across various evaluations. The SF 86 collects background information for security clearance, not medical fitness. The DD Form 93 is emergency data used for beneficiary and survivor information, not for medical duty status.
