Why Did the FAA Lower the Standards for the EKGs of Commercial Pilots?
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Story-at-a-Glance
October 24, 2022, the FAA changed the EKG requirements necessary for pilots to fly — but not to make them safer
With no public announcement or explanation, the agency expanded the allowable range for PR, a measure of heart function
Widening this parameter means those with potential heart damage are now allowed to fly commercial aircraft, potentially putting passengers at risk, should they suffer a heart attack or other event while in the air
Evidence suggests that pilots’ worsening heart health is due to adverse effects of COVID19 shots
An estimated 20% of pilots screened may have suffered heart damage due to COVID-19 shots, and the FAA may have been forced to widen the EKG parameters so pilots could continue to fly
