Medical Certificate Exam
for Your Pilot's License

medical certificate examsThe FAA has designated Dr. Toth as an Airman Medical Examiner (AME). As such, he is uniquely qualified to conduct a physical examination for your new or renewed pilot's license medical certificate.

While a medical certificate is not required in order to start flight training, it is recommended early in the process because you will need it once you start to fly solo. That may happen after only 10-20 hours of flight training, so it's best to be prepared. As a student, your medical certificate is your student pilot certificate. Think of it a "learner's permit" that is valid for two years while you work toward your pilot's license. Anyone acting as pilot-in-command (PIC) of an airplane must carry the appropriate, current medical certificate on each flight.

A Third-Class Airman Medical Certificate, required for a private pilot certificate, is valid for three years for applicants less than 40 years of age, and for two years for those over 40.
Consult the Federal Aviation Administration website for additional information.

You should have no problem getting your medical certificate if you are in good health. At the exam, you will be asked to fill out an FAA application and medical history form. Dr. Toth will then check your vision, hearing, balance, and nose and throat, and other mental and medical conditions.
