The text of the 2018 NDAA, SEC. 1063. EFFORTS TO COMBAT PHYSIOLOGICAL EPISODES ON CERTAIN NAVY AIRCRAFT.
"(a) In General.—Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and every 90 days thereafter until January 1, 2020, the Secretary of the Navy shall provide to the congressional defense committees information on efforts by the Navy’s Physiological Episode Team to combat the prevalence of physiological episodes in F/A–18 Hornet and Super Hornet, EA–18G Growler, and T–45 Goshawk aircraft.
(b) Elements.—The information required under subsection (a) shall include the following elements:
(1) A description of Naval Aviation Enterprise activities addressing physiological episodes during the reporting period.
(2) An estimate of funding expended in support of the activities described under paragraph (1).
(3) A description of any planned or executed changes to Physiological Episode Team structure or processes.
(4) A description of activities planned for the upcoming two quarters.
(c) Form.—The information required under subsection (a) may be provided in a written report or a briefing."
Apparently, Congress has acknowledged specific issues with disabilities for pilots in the the "F/A–18 Hornet and Super Hornet, EA–18G Growler, and T–45 Goshawk aircraft."
Not clear how this will play out, but, for pilots in the above airframes, this is of interest.
