Preparing for a Medical Like a Checkride

A medical is a certificate, just like any pilot certificate. This course will better equip instructors to prepare medical applicants like they would an applicant for any other checkride.

Dr. Roxo will discuss how the MedXPress questions are designed to elicit as complete a history as possible and how, like any checkride, there are both FAA and commercially-produced resources available to help a pilot or would-be pilot prepare.
