Guidance is compiled and interpreted by professional pilots and physicians at FlightPhysical.com from the 2014 AME Guide page 17, FAA and FDA web data (www.FAA.gov & www.FDA.gov), instructions specified in the Aeronautical Information Manual, Federal Air Surgeon Bulletins from 1999-2015, and 14 CFR Part 61 and Part 67 (the FARs).
- Each medical certificate must bear the same date as the date of medical examination regardless of the date the certificate is actually issued.
- Each medical certificate must be type-written either by typewriter or computer print-out. Handwritten or obviously corrected certificates are not acceptable.
- Only use standard limitations as contained within this document or on the Aerospace Medical Certification System (AMCS).
-
Each medical certificate must be fully completed prior to being signed.
- Both the AME and applicant must sign the medical certificate in ink.
- The applicant must sign before leaving the AME’s office.
AMEs are required to use the electronic transmission capability of AMCS and must forward the FAA/Original Copy to the FAA in Oklahoma (see address below). The AME Work Copy must be retained as the file copy.
