FlightPhysical.com is a commercial company whose goal is to provide meaningful information to pilots about the FAA Airman Medical Exam. We help FAA Designated Aviation Medical Examiners (AMEs) promote their private flight medicine practices, and we are separate from the FAA. When trying to resolve aviation medical issues, you should start with your AME. (Find an AME for me...) Click here to contact FlightPhysical.com.
The FAA advises that third-class airman inquires go to the Regional Flight Surgeon. The AMCD more commonly answers calls about first- and second-class pilots, and specifically detailed medical inquires (for example, central serous retinopathy, renal cancer). Many AMEs already do this. The AMCD number 405-954-4821/option 6, and that links you to dedicated FAA operators that will route you to the physician on call. Please follow operator instructions; you will be asked your AME number, Pilot Identification or application ID number. If the FAA is not immediately available, they will try to call back the same day. They may also ask for an after- hours call back number (usually your cell number), as they might call back after normal work hours. Alternatively, use the numbers below if you need to contact the a specific FAA department more directly:
