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.

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!
