Subject: Freedom of Information request - Documents pertaining to medical clearances for individuals diagnosed with ADHD

Dear Civil Aviation Safety Authority,

I am writing to you to request documents pertaining to medical clearances for individuals diagnosed with ADHD, who are taking stimulant medication. In particular any guidelines, clinical studies referenced, internal memos, and forms used by DAMEs (form 420 in particular)

I also request the number of class 1 and 2 certificates issued to those with a diagnosis of ADHD and broken down by if the applicant is taking stimulant medication to manage the condition.

I also request the number of class 1 and 2 certificates denied to those with a diagnosis of ADHD and broken down by if the applicant is taking stimulant medication to manage the condition.

Yours faithfully,
