How can I confirm an AME's FAA designation?

This directory is independent and not affiliated with the FAA. Always check the locator or call the office before you schedule your exam.

What should I bring to a flight physical near KSAT?

Bring a photo ID, your current FAA medical certificate if you have one, and a list of your medications. Many offices also ask for your MedXPress confirmation number. Because KSAT has airline service and three runways, schedules can be busy, so book early. Call the office to confirm what they need and how long the exam takes.
