Wingman Med: Evaluate, Prepare

For a fee, this new third-party aeromedical consultation service could be the key to seamless FAA medical certification.

It doesn’t matter how healthy you think you are, if you aren’t at least a little apprehensive going into an FAA medical exam, you probably have the wrong approach. Worse, showing up on your AME’s doorstep unprepared to explain existing and prior health issues—as minor as you think they are—could mean a hurry-up-and-wait FAA decision process that can drag on for six months or more.

Wingman Med attempts to tame that dragon, working in the background to help pilots get their medical paperwork in order before showing up for the dreaded exam.
