SAR Scribe vs Pocket Flight Surgeon

Application designed for use by Mountain Rescue teams to record pertinent casualty details that can be used to determine and record treatments, and record, monitor and assess casualty vitals.

Pocket Flight Surgeon is a mobile reference companion for U.S. Army aeromedical policy. It organizes publicly available Aeromedical Policy Letter (APL) content into a searchable, offline-ready format designed for trained aeromedical professionals who already work with these materials daily. This app does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or provide personalized medical advice. It is a structured reference aid - similar to a pocket textbook - intended to help trained professionals quickly locate policy language they are already qualified to interpret. WHAT YOU CAN DO Browse aeromedical conditions organized by medical specialty, including cardiovascular, neurology, pulmonary, psychiatry, orthopedic, ophthalmology, dermatology, endocrinology, and more. Each entry summarizes the APL-derived disposition framework so you can quickly orient to the relevant policy section during review. Search medication reference categories relevant to aeromedical duty-status considerations. Entries reflect general policy groupings and do not constitute prescribing guidance. Calculate flight physical due dates using the birth-month cycle, last exam date, and flight class. The calculator determines whether the next recurring requirement is a Comprehensive FDME or FDHS, tracks the 90-day scheduling window, and supports calendar reminders. Bookmark the conditions you reference most often for one-tap access during busy clinic days. Access the bundled APL source document and links to official Army aeromedical guidance resources directly within the app. DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD • Fully offline - works without Wi-Fi or cellular data, including deployed and austere environments • All data stays on your device - nothing is collected, uploaded, or shared • No account required - open the app and start referencing immediately • Interactive calculators and bookmarking go beyond static document viewing • Supports all iPhone screen sizes and Dynamic Type accessibility settings WHO THIS APP IS FOR This app is built for trained U.S. Army aeromedical professionals and aviation personnel who already use APL guidance in their duties, including Flight Surgeons, Aeromedical Physician Associates, Aeromedical Nurse Practitioners, Army Aviators, Non-Rated Crewmembers, Air Traffic Controllers, and UAS Operators. ABOUT THE SOURCE MATERIAL All condition and policy reference content is derived from the U.S. Army Aeromedical Policy Letters, which are publicly available U.S. government documents not subject to domestic copyright under 17 U.S.C. § 105. The bundled APL revision is dated December 2021. Aeromedical policy is periodically updated by the U.S. Army - always verify findings against the current official APL, local command policy, and waiver authority direction before making any duty-status or medical determination. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER Pocket Flight Surgeon is a reference aid only. It does not provide medical diagnoses, treatment recommendations, official aviation-duty determinations, or emergency guidance. Clinical disposition depends on individual patient context, symptoms, treatment effects, stability, and the judgment of a licensed clinician and appropriate waiver authority. For urgent symptoms or medical emergencies, seek immediate medical care through appropriate channels. This app is independently developed. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, or any U.S. government agency.
