This case report involved a 47-yr-old male pilot, with 20,000 h of total flight time, who was involved in an auto accident and suffered a traumatic amputation of both of his hands, as well as head injuries with temporary cognitive deficits. He underwent rehabilitation and was fitted with Otto Bock myoelectrically-controlled upper extremity (right and left) prostheses. In the past, the FAA had medically certified a total of 17 pilots (3 Second-Class and 14 Third-Class) with unilateral amputated hands (8-left and 9-right). This was the first case involving a bilateral hand amputee. This report describes the aeromedical certification procedure used to determine this pilot's fitness for the issuance of a Third Class Medical Certificate.
