FAA Medical

One of the requirements for getting your private pilot certificate is passing an FAA class three medical exam. On Wednesday April 15th I went to see Dr. Weisbrot, an Aviation Medical Examiner for my medical. This certificate is also my student pilot certificate and is required prior to a solo flight which will be coming up soon. I filled out the FAA 8500-8 form, answered some medical history questions, got a physical exam and walked out with my certificate. The whole process was much less daunting then I had been preparing for.
