Aviation Medical Services
Not every pilot needs the same type of FAA medical exam. A new student pilot may need a different certificate than an airline captain, and a pilot with a prior medical condition may need more preparation than someone completing a routine renewal.
Our office helps match the right service to your flying goals and FAA requirements.
- Class I FAA Medical Exam: For airline transport pilots and pilots who need the highest level of FAA medical certification.
- Class II FAA Medical Exam: For commercial pilots and other paid flying roles that require a second-class medical certificate.
- Class III FAA Medical Exam: For many student pilots, private pilots, and recreational aviators.
- FAA BasicMed Exam: For eligible pilots who qualify for BasicMed and want an alternative pathway to meet FAA medical requirements.
- HIMS Evaluation: For pilots who need FAA review connected to certain mental health, substance-related, or special issuance cases.
- Pre-Aviation Medical Counseling: For pilots who want to ask questions before submitting MedXPress or starting the FAA medical process.
- Rabin Cone Contrast Test: For pilots who need color vision evaluation as part of FAA medical review.
- Concierge Telemedicine for Pilots: For aviation medical questions before an in-office visit.
- Airline Pilot Medical Support: We help pilots from major carriers, including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines, with FAA medical exam needs and certification concerns.
