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.
