FAA expects pilots in the HIMS program to participate in regular meetings with a peer pilot. These meetings normally occur on a monthly basis and the peer pilot provides a report of the meeting to the IMS. These reports are reviewed by the IMS and the information provided is used to help assess the state of the HIMS pilot’s recovery.
The HIMS monitoring program also includes meetings with supervisors. We recommend the supervisor selected be the pilot’s direct supervisor. The relationship that will develop from these meetings will benefit both individuals.
