Abstract
The auto-questionnaire which can help in evaluating the fitness to travel, is proposed on the Internet at the website http://www.voyage-aptitude-senior.fr; it is aimed at people likely to present an incident in flight and while traveling. Modeled on the standardized geriatric assessment, it targets those chronic diseases most likely to become complicated with an exposure to aeronautical constraints and the strain of traveling in general. Once the structure and constraints of the self-administered questionnaire have been shown, we shall present the characteristics of the two groups of travelers that emerge from the first participations registered, and the analysis of their responses in the face of the aeronautical risks and in traveling.
