Start with the FAA Designee Locator on the FAA website. It lists current AMEs by ZIP code. You can also call offices on this page, but confirm they hold a current FAA designation. Only an FAA-designated AME can issue a medical certificate.
Fill out FAA Form 8500-8 online in MedXPress before your visit. Bring the confirmation number. The MedXPress application stays valid for 60 days. Also bring glasses or contacts if you use them, and a list of your medicines. Answer all questions truthfully. False answers are a federal offense.
A first class certificate is valid for 12 months under age 40. At age 40 and over, it is valid for 6 months for first-class privileges. After that, it drops to second or third class privileges as time passes. Ask your AME if you are unsure about your situation.
The AME can deny or defer your case. 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. Ask your AME what to expect and whether you need more information.
