How does an FAA pilot medical work?
On arrival at reception, we identify you by your ID card or passport, and scan your medical certificate and licence if you have them. Any additional tests, such as an ECG or audiogram, are then carried out. The examining doctor will give you a physical examination. If you have, or have had, a medical condition, bring documentation from your specialist or GP. In the case of a condition, our Aeromedical Examiner will send the documentation to the FAA by post; the FAA decides whether your condition is stable enough for flight safety to be assured, and will send you your medical certificate. If you need an interim assessment during the validity of your medical because of decreased fitness, you must book an appointment with us. We charge an hourly rate of €125 excl. VAT. If you already have known medical problems, please contact us as soon as possible, so we can advise you on which documentation to bring. Your FAA medical examination takes about 1 hour. You do not need to fast.
