FAA Fit? Wingman Med Backstops
Being properly prepared for your medical can save months of frustration.
More and more pilots show up on the AME's doorstep armed with the wrong or not enough paperwork to pass an FAA medical exam. That could be mean waiting a half year or more for the FAA to issue a medical when you could have been issued a certificate on the spot if you only had the right paperwork in place to support an otherwise approved medical condition.
Wingman Med is a new third-party aeromedical service with a unique military Top Gun experience for helping pilots navigate the complicated path to certification. In this field report, Aviation Consumer magazine Editor-in-Chief Larry Anglisano sat down with Wingman Med's Dr. Keith Roxo for a primer on the service and some good advice for surviving the next visit to an AME.
