Aviation Medication Transparency Act of 2025
This bill requires the FAA to create and maintain a public website listing medications approved for use by pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation trainees seeking medical certification. The list must include all approved prescription and over-the-counter medications, indicate required duty limitations for certain drugs, flag medications the FAA prohibits ("Do Not Issue"), and provide clear guidance for medical providers. The FAA must develop this list with input from aviation experts, training institutions, and union representatives, and update it annually to reflect current medical standards. This directly affects aviation medical applicants by making medication safety information transparent and accessible at the time of certification.
