Medical Certification - Get a Medical Certificate
To obtain a medical certificate you must be examined by an FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). As the airman you should follow these steps to apply for and obtain your medical certificate:
- Use MedXPress, to complete the initial portion of the application.
- Schedule an appointment with an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) in your area.
- If you have any medical conditions or take any mediation, ask the AME office what records you need to bring to your appointment.
At your scheduled appointment, the AME will complete your medical examination and the remainder of the FAA application form. If you meet the required medical standards, the AME will issue you a medical certificate.
