Title:
Successful Navigation of Your Aviation Medical Certification
Topic:
A Successful FAA Medical Or BasicMed Application Requires The Same Preparation We Make Before We Initiate A Flight!
Speaker(s):
Randy Corfman
Brief Description:
Successful completion of either an FAA medical certificate or BasicMed certificate requires the same preparation we make before we initiate a flight! The pilot needs to decide what type of medical certificate is required to meet her/his needs, preflight the exam by organizing the medical history and providing any information necessary for Special Issuance (if needed) and, if in doubt, ask questions from the AME or physician before the exam.
Randle Corfman, PhD, MD, AME is a scientist, physician, aviation medical examiner and pilot who incorporates his love of practicing medicine with his love of aviation. A 9000-hour commercial rated pilot, he holds instrument, multiengine and seaplane ratings. He has flown his Cessna T210 across the upper Midwest to provide onsite consultations for 30 years, and a Piper Super Cub for “real flying”. Randy grew up on a Kansas farm, watching airplanes flying overhead into and out of Wichita for as long as he can remember.
