What type of aeromedical provider can sign a DD 2992?

• A. Flight Surgeon
• B. Aeromedical Physician Assistant (APA)
• C. Aeromedical Nurse Practitioner (AMNP)
• D. Aviation Medical Examiner (AME)

Answer: (A)

The form is signed by the Flight Surgeon because this aeromedical document represents the official DoD aircrew medical evaluation and certification of fitness for flight. A Flight Surgeon is a physician trained in aerospace medicine who reviews the aircrew member’s medical history, current status, and any conditions or medications that could affect flight safety. The signature confirms that the exam has been completed, findings have been assessed, and any limitations or medical qualifications for flying have been determined. While other aeromedical providers may perform parts of the evaluation, the authority to certify the aircrew’s medical readiness on this DoD form rests with the Flight Surgeon.
