Listings come from public Google Maps data. Ratings and hours can change. Confirm the examiner holds a current FAA designation on the FAA Designee Locator. Spot an error? Tell us.
Start with the FAA Designee Locator on the FAA website. It lists current Aviation Medical Examiners by city and state. You can also call offices on this list, but confirm they hold a current FAA designation. Only an FAA-designated AME can issue an FAA medical certificate.
AMEs set their own fees. Prices vary by city and class. Call the office for the current price. Ask what the fee covers and if there are extra charges for tests like an ECG. Bring your MedXPress confirmation number to the exam.
Fill out FAA Form 8500-8 online in MedXPress before the exam. 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.
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 may qualify for a Special Issuance or be handled on the spot with a CACI worksheet.
