CASE-46-B — Pilot Medical Certification
Authored demonstration. Not a live employer result.
01 · Situation
The disclosure was made. The gate was never enforced.
Illustrative case in which a pilot discloses a new medication; an AME review is required before next scheduled duty.
02 · Evidence
What the record holds.
- E1Medication disclosure
Verified · Day 0
- E2AME review request
Verified · Day 0
- E3AME determination
Not located · Due Day 2, per this demonstration’s illustrative case protocol
- E4Duty roster still shows pilot scheduled
Verified · Day 2
03 · Obligations / Owners
The chain of responsibility.
- 01
Pilot (disclose)
- 02
AME (determine within the illustrative two-day review window)
- 03
Scheduling office (hold roster pending sign-off)
04 · Accountability Break
Where the chain broke.
The roster was never held pending the determination — the gate was bypassed, not missed.
05 · Next Action
The corrective obligation.
Scheduling office holds the roster pending an explicit clearance-to-fly artifact; no default-to-scheduled.
06 · Economic Boundary
Where the evidence stops.
Monetary consequence not established.
07 · Engine Answer
What the Engine can and cannot establish.
The scheduling office was required, under this demonstration’s illustrative case protocol, to hold the roster until the AME determination was documented, due by Day 2. The record shows the disclosure and the review request but no determination, and the pilot remains on the Day 2 roster regardless. The Engine can demonstrate that the scheduling gate was not enforced. It cannot establish why the determination was never produced or completed.
The gate exists on paper. It was not enforced in the schedule.
