No matter what type of flight physical you need, the most important decision you face is your choice of an AME. Word of mouth often provides a good initial source of information for flight physicals. You should ask friends, associates, and your chief pilot if they could recommend an aviation medical examiner based on personal experience.

Key points to consider when choosing your AME:

• Check the aviation medical examiner's qualifications!
• Is he / she a senior aviation medicine examiner?
• Does he / she do just a few physicals a year or is he / she in the upper percentile of AME's across the country?
• Does the AME limit his / her practice to just aviation medicine or is doing flight physicals just something he / she does on the side?
• How long has the AME been performing flight physicals?
• Is the AME a flight surgeon?
• How many difficult cases has the AME dealt with before?
• How successful is the AME is getting grounded pilots back into the cockpit?
• Is the AME's office convenient?
