WHAT MAKES A GOOD MEDICAL EXAMINER?
A good Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) must be an experienced physician. He or she should have a thorough familiarity with the profession of flying and the flying environment; and should be truly committed to advocating for each pilot, while at the same time ensuring flight safety.
And a good AME is someone you can trust to take care of you AFTER the exam!
At Utah Flight Med, I offer all the above and more. With over 20 years experience in aerospace medicine, both in the military and civilian spheres, I’ll provide you with personalized care to get you flying and keep you flying.
Schedule now with confidence. Or if you have questions, email me and we can arrange a free consult.
I look forward to meeting you!
Pete Sipos, M.D., Senior FAA Aviation Medical Examiner

f you need an FAA exam, feel free to request the highest class that you think you qualify for, or the highest class you would like. I charge the same for all three exams as long as they do not include an EKG. If you don't qualify for class 1 or 2, we can always downgrade the exam at the appointment, free of charge. Make sure you complete your MedXPress application (https:medxpress.faa.gov) before your appointment. For SAME-DAY appointment, please call me at 801-791-9078

You will need an EKG when applying for first-class medical certification at the first application after reaching the 35th birthday; and
on annual basis at age 40 and older. If you renew your FAA MEDICAL EXAMS more recently than annually, and are over 40, you only need one (1) EKG per year. So if you've had an FAA exam with an EKG in the past 12 months, you won't need one now. For SAME-DAY appointment, please call me at 801-791-9078 -
HIMS services are needed for those with substance abuse issues and those withing to flying while taking an antidepressent. If you do your FAA Exams with me, HIMS services come with the package. No extra cost. Don’t do your exam with a non-HIMS AME if you need HIMS services - you’ll just be paying twice.

I’m happy to answer simple questions by email for free. If you have a complicated history that you think may take more time, or if you have documents you’d like reviewed, or if you simply prefer a face-to-face consultation, this service may be for you. Cost will depend on time required - typically $100 per 30 minutes. But if you do your exam with me, later consultations are always free. Please email me to schedule.

If you’ve ever received an unrestricted FAA medical certificate, then you will not need to repeat the color vision test. Otherwise, the FAA now requires that applicants do the color vision test using one of three computer-based tests. I offer the Waggoner Test, which is done from my iPad. If you’re concerned about passing, you can make arrangements to come by and try the test for free. The test is also included free of charge when required for your FAA Exam

If you need some serial blood pressure checks, or if you’re simply curious about your blood pressure, come on by. I’m happy to check your blood pressure for free, as often as you like.

BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT IS EASY
I know that work and life is busy for both pilots and students. For that reason, one of my primary goals is to provide flexible scheduling to my customers. My daily hours are structured and updated weekly to ensure “next day” availability through my website scheduling tool for all members of the aviation community.
Same day appointments are also ALMOST always available by calling/texting 801-791-9078.
If my normal hours don’t work for you, or if you’re in a super tight situation, I can come in early or stay late. Again, just call/text 801-791-9078.
All appointment can be rescheduled or cancelled without penalty.
