What is the FAA HIMS Program?

Originally focused on substance abuse, the HIMS program has expanded to include mental health cases, often applying outdated and punitive standards.

Is there any movement to reform it?

Yes. Advocates at pilotsforhimsreform.com and analysis on faahimsprogram.com are pushing for science-based policies and fair oversight.

What are pilots saying?

On Reddit’s r/flying and the HIMS Victims Forum, many describe the program as intrusive, expensive, and unfair to those with non-substance-related diagnoses.
