Key Points

The FAA would have to create a public website that lists which medications and treatments are safe for pilots to use. Currently, this information is not always easy for pilots or their doctors to find.
The list must be easy to understand and given to new pilots when they first get their licenses. It will include a "Do Not Issue" section for drugs that are strictly banned for flight safety.
To make the list accurate, the FAA must talk to pilot unions, air traffic controllers, and medical experts. They will also provide a way for doctors to contact the FAA directly with questions.
The website will explain how long a pilot needs to wait after starting a new medicine before they can fly again. This helps ensure the medication is working correctly and does not cause side effects.
The FAA must update this list every year. This ensures that as new medicines are created, pilots know exactly which ones they can take without losing their jobs.
