Which DAFMAN do FOMTs utilize to identify how to apply medical standards to Air Force service members?

• A. DAFMAN 48-123
• B. DAFMAN 48-122
• C. DAFMAN 48-101
• D. DAFMAN 48-120

Answer: (A)

FOMTs use DAFMAN 48-123 because it directly codifies how medical standards are applied to Air Force service members, specifically for flying personnel. It lays out the required medical examinations, evaluation criteria, and the processes for determining fitness for flight, including waivers and medical readiness decisions. This makes it the practical reference you consult to translate medical criteria into flight-related qualifications and ongoing eligibility. The other manuals in the 48-series cover different medical program areas or general readiness and do not provide the exact framework for applying flight-specific medical standards the way 48-123 does.
