About Compass

A clearer instrument for a complicated system.

Aeromedical Compass exists to make aviation-medical provider information easier to understand without publishing patient identities, rewarding document volume, or turning individual stories into public accusations.

Purpose

Make provider practice visible without oversimplifying it.

We collect positive and negative experiences, supporting documents, corroborated information, and public records. After review, approved information is converted into structured practice patterns that help airmen understand what the current evidence actually supports.

Operating principle

Transparency has to be inspectable.

Compass separates the Practice Rating from Evidence Confidence, publishes only repeated patterns, offers providers a right of reply, and keeps pending material out of public scores.

Privacy

Reporter identities stay private

The directory publishes aggregate signals, not individual patient stories.

Neutrality

Positive and concern data use the same gate

The same review and repeated-pattern rules apply in both directions.

Accountability

Providers can answer the record

Right-of-reply and provider statements are part of the public architecture.

Independence of the directory

Aeromedical Compass is presented as its own public-facing resource. Provider ratings are generated from Compass's published methodology and approved Compass data, not from an advocacy position or a desired outcome for any individual provider.

Organizational operation and legal disclosures are available in the Terms of Use.
