Similar to your Country's Civil Aviation Authority Medical requirements are the Federal Aviation Administration medical requirements. But the process here is more convenient and flexible. You can choose the Class of medical you want i.e. Class 1, 2 or 3. The medical is done by an approved FAA Medical examiner and takes about three hours or depending on your fitness. Once the class of medical is issued, you are fit for the term described in part 67 of 14 CFR's.

Candidates are only required to obtain AFSP approval for the following training events:

Each of these training events requires a separate training request. All other training events on aircraft with MTOW of 12,500 lbs. or less are exempt from AFSP regulations, including Commercial Pilot License (CPL), Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI.) These events are exempt only if the candidate holds an FAA stand-alone pilot certificate.

Submitting the Training Request Application
(Categories 1-3 only)

Once the Candidate has completed the training request application, they must return to the "Home" page and go to the "Current Flight Training Applications" section at the top of the page. To submit the training request, Candidate must select "Validate and Submit Application."

If the application contains errors:

* Candidate must choose to "view errors" to see the specific errors and correct them.

If there are no errors or all errors have been corrected:

* Selecting "Validate and Submit" constitutes an electronic signature. The applicant is the only person who can legally choose "I Agree".

After the application is submitted, the Provider must review it. The AFSP will send payment instructions to the Candidate via email after the Provider acknowledges the training request.
