The FAA also criminally prosecutes
those that lie on their medical applications.
The FAA medical application form warns pilots about the consequences of falsifying information:
“Whoever in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States knowingly and willfully falsifies, conceals or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact, or who makes any false, fictitious or fraudulent statements or representations, or entry, may be fined up to $250,000 or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”
