New Questions on FAA Form 8500-8: The FAA has added a new question (#18 Y) and modified an existing question (#18 V) on the FAA Form 8500-8 (Flight Physical Application). To clarify the changes imposed by these forms, please read Dr. Illig's letter to pilots on the new questions. You can also visit http://www.oig.dot.gov/StreamFile?file=/data/pdfdocs/opsafepilot.pdf for more information. MedXpress can save you time and simplify your FAA Medical application process! In an effort to continually improve our service to you, the staff and doctors at Aviation Medical Services of Alaska are encouraging pilots to use MedXpress. All you need is an internet connection, an email address, set up a password, and you can fill out the FAA 8500-8 (flight physical application form) in the convenience of your home! You will need to bring the confirmation number to your AME, and it would be helpful to provide a printed copy of your applciation as well. This is the first step in an ongoing effort by the FAA to eventually have a paperless system for all flight physical processes. We are not there yet, but we are dedicated to helping make it happen. Try it, and let us know what you think! |
