Consistent with this change, my SIA dated Jan. 2012 contained this provision, while the same SIA dated Jan. 2013 does not require it be carried.
From what I read in 67.401, this applies to all SIA issuances.
I stand corrected. I retired on August 1 2012, so wasn't aware of the change for the better. The issues that arose were the pilot didn't want his medical condition known to others. Our policy was to see the letter but not read it.
