What is the DD Form 2992 used for?

• A. primary method to communicate changes in Flying/SOD status
• B. medical clearance to fly
• C. Record of flight hours
• D. Maintenance of flight logs

Answer: (B)

DD Form 2992 is the medical clearance to fly. It is completed by a flight surgeon after evaluating the aircrew member and documents whether they meet aeromedical standards, including any limitations or waivers. This form serves as the official record that a member is medically approved to operate military aircraft, or notes any conditions under which flight is allowed. It isn’t used to log flight hours or to maintain flight logs, and it isn’t the tool for communicating changes in general flight status; those purposes are handled by other records. The essential point is that this form certifies medical readiness to fly.
