  • Wingman Med is a new third-party aeromedical service offering assistance to pilots in navigating the complex FAA medical certification process.
  • The service provides a "unique military Top Gun experience" to help pilots efficiently secure their medical certificates.

More and more pilots show up on the AME’s doorstep armed with the wrong or not enough paperwork to pass an FAA medical exam. That could be mean waiting a half year or more for the FAA to issue a medical when you could have been issued a certificate on the spot if you only had the right paperwork in place to support an otherwise approved medical condition. Wingman Med is a new third-party aeromedical service with a unique military Top Gun experience for helping pilots navigate the complicated path to certification.
