New FAA Physiology Training Form
If you want to take aviation physiology hypoxia training, you must complete FAA Form 3150-2 (Physiology Training Record). The form is required for students who hold an FAA Class 1, 2, or 3 aviation medical certificate or are flying under the BasicMed program and who are at least 18 years old.
Small Paperwork Time Burden
Completing the Physiology Training Record adds a small paperwork burden: FAA estimates 5 minutes to complete all responses per student (18 seconds per response). FAA estimates 2,500 to 3,000 students will complete the form, totaling about 270 hours of burden annually.
