The AME must personally conduct the examination. This section provides guidance for completion of the Application for Airman Medical Certificate +/- Student Pilot Certificate, FAA Form 8500-8.
The AME must note in Item 60 of the FAA Form 8500-8 any condition found in the course of the examination. The AME must list facts, such as dates, frequency, and severity.
When questions arises, AMEs must check the Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners and other FAA documents. If the question remains unresolved, the AME should seek advice from a RFS or the Manager of the AMCD.
After all evaluations and tests are completed, the AME reviews Form 8500-8. If complete and accurate, the AME adds final comments, makes qualification and decision statements, and signs the declaration. The medical history page must be completed in the handwriting of and signed and dated by the applicant. Upon completion of the examination, the entire FAA Form 8500-8 must be electronically transmitted to the FAA.
