Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners
Application Process for Medical Certification
Applicant History - Item 18. Medical History
s. Medical rejection by military service
The Examiner should inquire about the place, cause, and date of rejection and enter the information in
Item 60. It is of great assistance to the applicant and the FAA if the Examiner can help obtain copies of military documents for attachment to the FAA Form 8500-8. If a delay of more than
14-calendar days is expected, the Examiner should transmit FAAForm 8500-8 to the FAA with a note specifying what documents will be forwarded later under separate cover.
Disposition will depend upon whether the medical condition still exists or whether a history of such a condition requires denial or deferral under the FAA medical standards.
