Pilot Physicals

It’s crucial that you provide our clinic with all the FAA-required information regarding your current health status. Most deferrals or denials during physical exams result from pilots not supplying this information. Additionally, please discuss any health concerns that may impact your ability to fly safely with our Aviation Medical Examiner (AME).

You are required to fill out your 8500-8 Form online. Click here to access.

To help expedite your certification process before your appointment, consider the following suggestions:

  • If you’ve experienced any changes in your vision, consult your eye doctor before your physical and bring your glasses to your appointment.
  • If you have a Special Issuance, bring the corresponding letter from the FAA. Ensure that you have submitted all relevant medical information to the FAA regarding your Special Issuance.
  • Provide our AME with any medical information requested by the FAA related to your Special Issuance.
  • Inform our AME if you have any of the fifteen disqualifying medical conditions.
  • Compile a list of all medications you are taking, including the purpose, dosage, and any side effects you may be experiencing.
  • If you have a chronic health condition, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, ensure you have regular check-ups with your family physician and have lab work done within three months before your pilot physical.
  • If applicable, bring your Statement of Demonstrated Ability (SODA).
  • Gather any additional health-related documents that you feel might be necessary, particularly if you have experienced a significant health event or change since your last certification.

Please note that the Aviation Medical Exam fee is due at the time of service. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards. Our team understands the importance of your certification, and if any issues arise, our AME will collaborate with you, the FAA, and your personal physician to find a resolution. Our goal is for you to leave our clinic with your certification in hand.
