The WINGS Act mandates a study on the long-term effects of military aviation on aviators' brain and mental health.
The WINGS Act requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to conduct a comprehensive study on the long-term physiological and psychological effects of military aviation on military aviators. The study will examine the relationship between flight hours, G-force exposure, and incidents of traumatic brain injury, cognitive impairment, and mental health outcomes. It will also explore the correlation between aviation-related stress and suicide risk, the prevalence of neurodegenerative conditions, and the impact of cockpit environmental factors on neurocognitive health.
