FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) EXAMS
All (Class I, II, III) FAA exams are $150.00.
A baseline EKG is necessary for Class I exams at ages 35 through 39 then annually starting at age 40 until you no longer require a Class I certificate. Class II and Class III do not routinely require an EKG, but it may be necessary in some cases. If an EKG is required, there will be an additional $40.00 charge. Please note, this is an administrative physical and is generally not covered by medical insurance. We are unable to bill your carrier for this service. You must pay in full prior to examination.
Effective February 15, 2024, there will be a $25.00 for your AME to upload additional documents required by the FAA to your MedExpress file.

Prior to your appointment, go to the FAA MedXPress web site at https://medxpress.faa.gov to complete your 8500-8 forms. Please double check your name and demographic information as we are unable to correct this if submitted incorrectly. At the end of your application, the system will give you a confirmation number. Be aware you must submit your portion of the 8500-8 application to the FAA before you will be given your confirmation number. Bring the confirmation number and a government-issued photo identification to your appointment. Our AME will perform your exam, log-on to your application, input the AME information, and print your certificate for you.
