Constitutional summary

Canonical case

Return-to-Flight Determination Without Demonstrable Completion of Operational Readiness Obligations

Constitutional first cause

The Engine begins when: A pilot or other flight-critical individual develops a medical condition that changes fitness-for-flight status. Not when they fly again. Not when certification is restored. When the medical condition creates operational restrictions.

Obligation architecture

  1. 1Event observed — Condition identified.
  2. 2Functional implications assessed.
  3. 3Temporary flight restrictions established.
  4. 4Treatment initiated.
  5. 5Recovery objectively evaluated.
  6. 6Regulatory requirements reviewed.
  7. 7Required specialist evaluations completed.
  8. 8Medical certification decision made.
  9. 9Operational acceptance documented.
  10. 10Return to flight verified.

Constitutional observations

What The Engine makes visible

Current systems demonstrate: evaluation performed; medical certificate issued; restrictions removed. They often cannot demonstrate: why readiness changed; whether every prerequisite was satisfied; whether operational risk was reassessed; whether certification reflected demonstrable completion of all required obligations. The accountable unit is not the certificate. It is the readiness determination.

Demonstration

No worked demonstration is provisioned for this specialty in this build. Occupational Medicine (Specialty 25) is the first domain and carries the worked demonstration; the constitutional architecture above is shared across specialties.
