Do I need a color vision test?
Do I need a color vision test?
If you have ever had an FAA certificate approved in the past, you won't need another color vision test. First time aviators will need a color vision test. If you are unsure or have any trouble editing your appointment online, no worries! We can modify the details on-site if anything further is needed.

What to Expect During Your FAA Medical Exam
Your FAA exam is a streamlined process designed to ensure you're medically fit for flight. During the visit, we will review your MedXpress health history form (aka the FAA 8500-8), followed by vision testing, a blood pressure check, and a physical exam tailored to your certification class. Depending on your needs, the visit may also include hearing tests, EKGs (for certain age groups and classes), or additional documentation for special issuances or HIMS evaluations.Our goal is to make the process clear, respectful, and efficient—so you can stay focused on flying.

What is HIMS?
What is HIMS?
HIMS (Human Intervention Motivation Study) is a specialized FAA program designed to support pilots and air traffic controllers with a history of mental health diagnoses, substance use history, or certain medical conditions. The goal of the program is to ensure safety of flight and a structured return to duty for existing aviators.
The HIMS process includes collaboration between the airman, a trained HIMS Aviation Medical Examiner (AME), healthcare professionals, and the FAA. It typically involves monitoring, treatment, regular medical evaluations, and documentation that demonstrates ongoing wellness and compliance.
Whether you need HIMS engagement after your exam won't be a secret- the FAA will write you a letter telling you exactly what they want.
At its core, HIMS is not punitive—it’s a safety-focused program that balances medical oversight with the FAA’s commitment to supporting aviation professionals in maintaining both their health and their careers.
