Periodic Medical Exams are a requirement for the privilege of flying in our
public airspace. We'll facilitate them as much as possible. If you are already familiar with the
process, you know that once you have your AME selected you must start the medical application (MedXPress) process ahead of the
visit. Remember, after submitting your FAA MedXPress application, the clock starts, and
you have only 60 days to complete your examination with an AME. If not accomplished,
the MedXPress application is deleted from the FAA's system, and you will then have to start over and submit
a fresh application.
Alternatively, if you want to forego a full Aviation Medical Certification, we have
information on the BasicMed option. This
alternative FAA aeromedical certification pathway carries restrictions
but much to the delight of BasicMed pilots, the
limitations were lightened in 2024. As of 2026 current BasicMed airframe restrictions have been loosened to allow a heavier max
aircraft takeoff weight of 12,500 lbs, and no more than 6 passengers (plus you the pilot = 7
total occupants). Learn more about the FAA BasicMed.
