Aviation Medical Examiner

An Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) is a licensed healthcare professional authorized by aviation authorities, such as the FAA, to evaluate pilots' health and fitness to fly. They conduct thorough medical examinations to ensure pilots meet specific health standards, addressing vision, hearing, cardiovascular health, and overall wellness. Passing this exam confirms a pilot's ability to operate aircraft safely. AMEs also handle documentation and certification processes needed for various pilot licenses. Their role is crucial in maintaining aviation safety by ensuring that pilots are physically capable of performing their duties responsibly.
