Protection and Destruction of Forms
Examiners are cautioned to provide adequate security for blank medical application and certificate forms to ensure that they do not become available for illegal use. When the FAA issues new or revised medical forms and certificates, the FAA will advise Examiners of the disposition of the old forms and certificates.The serial numbers of FAA Form 8500 8 assigned to each Examiner are recorded at the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute in Oklahoma City. If asked, the Examiner should be prepared to account for the forms. The Examiners are responsible for making provisions to return all unused FAA forms at such time they leave (resign, retire, terminated, or death) to the AME Program:
