Aviation Medicine Consultations
Answers to all of your Aviation Medicine questions
There are only 3 options an Aviation Medical Examiner has at the time of the examination…therefore, an Aviation Medicine Consultation is highly recommended.
Issue - the AME can issue you a medical certificate. Actually, the AME has 14 days from the time of the examination to send to the FAA (in case there are minor reports needed).
Defer - the AME defers the application to the FAA to decide; which can often take months to figure out and will require further medical information.
Deny - the AME can deny your application. This is extremely rare and is not advised by the FAA.
