Aeromedical Certification Division Staff Report
Because of "Year 2000" complianceissues, we will have a new Aeromedical Certification System (AMCS) Internet softwareprogram in place by October 1, 1999. Aviation medical examiners (AMEs) who are currentlyusing the DOS-based Version 9.5 of AMCS to transmit FAA Form 8500-8 medical examinationdata to the Federal Aviation Administration will no longer be able to use it on that date.Instead, you will use your computer and modem to access the Internet to electronicallysubmit examination data to the AMCS. Additional information will be provided in the summerissue of the Bulletin.
