You will need to acquire a Medical Certificate from an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). There are different classes for the medical certificate that you can choose from (Class 1, 2, or 3), depending on if your PPL is for personal experience or you plan to pursue a career in aviation. You will want to get this as soon as you start your flight training. There are certain medications or other medical situations that could prevent you from getting your Medical Certificate. If you are denied, then you will no longer be able to get your PPL. It’s best to talk to one of our CFIs who can help guide you on which AMEs are the closest and who to reach out to if you have any questions pertaining to your medical history.
