The DFW metroplex has a large and varied flying community, encompassing a diversity of professionals ranging from commuting business executives to flight attendants, and from Federal Air Marshals to pilots-in-command. An entire industry of private and professional aircraft companies, as well as commercial airlines exist only because of these highly trained professionals. The special concerns of the aerospace industry has even given rise to an area of specialized medicine, dedicated to keeping these professionals healthy and able to carry out their duties in a safe and capable manner.
Dr. Blair has long maintained a keen interest in the specialized field of aerospace medicine, and in maintaining the health of the men and women who make it possible. He is certified by the FAA as a Senior Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) as well as a certified Air Traffic Controller (ATC) examiner. Dr. Blair has been published in the nationally recognized Federal Air Surgeon’s Medical Bulletin, and routinely undergoes continuing education to stay on the cutting edge of aerospace medicine.
Our medical office offers all levels of flight physicals for pilots, including FAA Classes I, II, and III. Dr. Blair works closely with the FAA to keep our pilots flying, and to help them work through any medical issues that may arise which might affect their ability to perform up to FAA standards.
Since Dr. Blair is also a board certified family practice physician, pilots that see him for all of their medical care needs also play an active role in choosing (and avoiding) medications and procedures that could interfere with their flying abilities. Together, the goal is safe flying and minimizing down time.
From Student Pilot to advanced aviator, fixed wing to rotary wing, even new hire to biannual renewal, Dr. Blair will work with you to keep you safely at the controls.
