What is R.A.M.P
R.A.M.P, or the Resiliency and Mindfulness Program, was created to help aerospace students take control of their mental health. R.A.M.P seeks to accomplish this task by providing community, advocacy, support, and education to the students, faculty, staff, and flight instructors of the Aerospace Department. The mission of R.A.M.P is to provide a supportive environment for students and increase opportunities for students to find appropriate helping agencies and community support when faced with troubling issues.
R.A.M.P consists of faculty, staff, students, mental health, and medical professionals. If you have more questions about R.A.M.P please reach our to the Aerospace Student Wellness Coordinator, Chelsea Jones. Chelsea.Jones@mtsu.edu
Message from an Aviation Medical Examiner
As a pilot, navigating life’s stressors may be complicated by concerns of maintaining a medical certificate
and flight privileges – especially if professional medical or psychological help is needed. When facing
tough issues, with uncertainty as to what to do, seeing your AME can be a good first step. Reaching out
for advice on difficult issues such as stress, anxiousness, low mood, and grief can help the pilot find
perspective – and assistance, if needed, to improve the situation and release bottled-up pressures. You
are not alone.
Despite the natural fears of not being able to fly most situations do not need the pilot to ground. Those
that do require time out of the air tend to be shorter term and NOT long term or permanent grounding.
If mental health fitness is best achieved by medication, as in some cases of depression and anxiety,
following FAA regulations affords the pilot a pathway to successful resumption of flight.
Ensuring your mental health is crucial. Even if there are more significant symptoms where you need to
work through issues before resuming flight the improvement in how you feel and the long-term success
that improvement provides will be worth the effort.
