Its tasks range from selection and aptitude testing to aeromedical examinations, interdisciplinary assessments and long-term monitoring of military aviation personnel.

The Surgeon General of the German Air Force also acts as the Senior Flight Surgeon of the Bundeswehr and thus exercises functional control over the flight surgeons in the Army and Navy in the functional area of aviation medicine.
