A statement granted at the discretion of a Federal Air Surgeon to a person who is disqualified from obtaining a pilot's medical certification. Granted only if the disqualifying condition is static or non-progressive, and the person has been found capable of performing airman duties without endangering public safety. A Statement of Demonstrated Ability does not expire and authorizes a designated aviation medical examiner to issue a medical certificate of a specified class if the examiner finds that the condition described on its face has not adversely changed. In granting a Statement of Demonstrated Ability, the Federal Air Surgeon may consider the persons operational experience and any medical facts that may affect the ability of the person to perform airman duties.

—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing.

I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.”
—Hippocrates (c. 460–c. 370 B.C.)
