(Item Number on MedXPress Medical Application)
Airman must check whether their FAA Airman Medical Certificate Ever Been Denied, Suspended, or Revoked and provide explanations.
  • Denials, Suspensions and Revocations of an Airman Medical Certificate must be specifically reversed by the FAA
  • Do not confuse medical certificate revocations with normal timed out expirations or of the other certificate (pilot license revocations/suspensions.) Normal expirations have no impact on your ability to medically recertify

Item 13 Question asks: Has Your FAA Airman Medical Certificate Ever Been Denied, Suspended, or Revoked?

-- Textbox to enter date or Calendar control to select date

Select Yes or No. If you select Yes, enter the date your certificate was denied, suspended, or revoked.

If you loose your medical certification for cause, that must be reported and reversed if an FAA waiver if appropriate. By contrast, normal expirations are not a big deal at all except that you can't fly until you pass another flight physical. If you are not planning to fly, there is no immediate need to keep your medical certificate current. Unlike going noncurrent with your flying (a proficiency problem), there are no additional penalties for allowing your medical certification to remain expired until ready to resume your aviation career or hobby.
