The FAA Medical Certificate and Student Pilot Certificate is an all-inclusive document that you receive from an FAA Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) upon passing a medical examination performed by the AME. You can't fly solo without this certification, and we require that you have your medical when you enroll.
This medical ensures that your vision is at least correctable to 20:20 and that your hearing is adequate for conversational purposes. Your blood pressure and heart rate are also checked. If you are a diabetic who depends on insulin, you will not receive a medical certificate.
