Fill out FAA Form 8500-8 online in MedXPress and bring the confirmation number. The MedXPress application stays valid for 60 days. Answering falsely is a federal offense. Bring your glasses or contacts if you use them, and a list of your medicines. Call the office if you are unsure what to bring.

The AME can deny or defer your case. A deferral sends the file to the FAA Aerospace Medical Certification Division in Oklahoma City or a Regional Flight Surgeon. Reviews can take weeks or months. If you have a condition, ask the office about Special Issuance, CACI worksheets, or AASI before your exam.
