Aviation Medical Certificates

Aspen Flight Academy recommends obtaining a medical certificate before beginning training. This helps prevent unnecessary expenses if an unforeseen medical issue prevents you from soloing.

FAA medical requirements can be complex, so we encourage you to consult an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) for any specific questions or concerns.
