AME questions from pilots in Orlando

How do I find an FAA AME near Orlando?

Use the FAA Designee Locator to confirm an examiner holds a current FAA designation. This page lists 8 offices that came up in local searches near MCO, but it is not an official FAA list. Call the office to confirm it handles the class you need and ask about price and hours.

What should I bring to my flight physical in Orlando?

Fill out FAA Form 8500-8 online in MedXPress before the exam and bring the confirmation number. The MedXPress application stays valid for 60 days. Bring glasses or contacts if you use them, a list of medicines, and any past FAA letters. Answering falsely is a federal offense. Call the office for anything else they need.

How long is a medical certificate valid?

First class is valid 12 months under age 40 and 6 months at age 40 and over for first-class privileges. Second class is valid 12 months. Third class is valid 60 months under age 40 and 24 months at age 40 and over. A first-class certificate drops to second or third class privileges as time passes.

What if my AME cannot issue my certificate?

The AME can deny or defer. A deferral sends your file to the FAA Aerospace Medical Certification Division in Oklahoma City or a Regional Flight Surgeon. Reviews can take weeks or months. Some conditions can be handled on the spot with CACI worksheets or AME Assisted Special Issuance. Ask the office how they handle your case.
