The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has certain physical and mental health requirements for pilots to obtain and/or maintain a valid Medical Certificate. In order to comply with the guidelines, pilots must obtain a medical certificate from a physician designated as an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) that recognizes the satisfactory physical and mental health of the individual. All individuals acting as pilot-in-command must meet minimal safety standards and obtain a medical certificate granted upon successful medical examination. In addition, certain crew members and student pilots must undergo the same process. Occasionally employers require employees to hold a valid Airman Medical Certificate for positions within the FAA such as air traffic controllers. Dr. Scott Redrick of Crystal River, Florida is an Aviation Medical Examiner and is qualified to administer flight physicals for all classes.
There are three classes of medical certifications for airmen and pilots should apply for the most applicable certification according to their flying activities.
