What is a Medical/Student Pilot Certificate and how do I get one?
The Medical/Student Pilot Certificate can only be issued by an Aviation Medical Examiner after completing an examination that includes a vision test (yes, you can wear corrective lenses), a hearing test, blood pressure, and urine sample. There is no blood sample taken or anything invasive about the examination. You will be asked to list any medications you may be taking and if you have any medical condition that might preclude you from flying solo. We can provide a list of AME’s in the San Diego area. You are encouraged to get the Medical as soon as possible before you invest a lot of time and money in flight training just in case you may have a previously unknown condition that prevents you from solo flight.
