flying doctor


Explanation:
refers to doctors in the Australian outback for example. There is no obvious adjectival form of this. You would need to use the compound noun form in some way.

flight physician


Explanation:
Used both for Fliegerarzt and "fliegender Doktor".

For the adjective, you'll have to use a phrase such as "by a flight physician" or "committee of flight physicians".

Quite a few hits on flight medicine, too, see if any of the sites will help.

Flight surgeon


Explanation:
I do have to put in my 2 cents worth, since the correct term is flight SURGEON (at least someone in medicine land went to bat for us poor surgeons).
If you don't believe me work your way through the flight surgeon's manual!

addendum


Explanation:
I forgot to explain that a Fliegerarzt has nothing to do with the flying doctors but is the doc responsible for pilot checkups and flight fitness etc.
