About Crosscheck
For pilots. By pilots.
Why we built Crosscheck, how it treats the FAA's information, and what it isn't.
Who makes it
Crosscheck is built by a working airline pilot who flies on a special issuance: a medical certificate the FAA grants on conditions and renews twice a year, each time only when the paperwork behind it is complete.
Every six months that means visits to several doctors, test results and letters gathered from each of them, and a list of dates that has to be right. Keeping all of that straight, from memory and a folder of paper, turned out to be the hardest part of holding the certificate. Crosscheck is the tool he wanted for it, built so that the next renewal starts from a written record rather than a search.
Why Crosscheck exists
The FAA's rules and guidance are public, but they are spread across many pages and documents.
Written for examiners
The FAA's Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners is written for the doctors who do the exam, not for pilots.
Dates that are easy to miss
A first-class medical steps down to lower-class privileges before it ends. When each class ends depends on your age on the day of the exam (14 CFR 61.23).
A form that asks for everything
MedXPress asks for every visit to a health professional in the last 3 years (Item 19) and every medication (Item 17).
Crosscheck puts your dates, your records and what the FAA has published in one place, in plain words.

How Crosscheck treats the FAA's information
It reports what the FAA has published, with the same meaning. Nothing added, and nothing left out.
The source and the date, every time
Each answer names the FAA document it comes from, the date Crosscheck last checked it, and the FAA's own date when the document prints one.
Plain words first
We say it plainly first, with the FAA's own term beside it in small type. The FAA's exact words are one press away.
What the Guide says, never what to do
We report what the FAA's Guide says the examiner needs. We never tell you what you should do, and we never predict an outcome.
When the FAA is silent, we say so
If the FAA documents Crosscheck reads don't cover something, the answer says so. Nothing is filled in from general knowledge.
Full disclosure
Crosscheck assumes you report everything: every doctor visit and every medication, the way MedXPress asks.
How Crosscheck keeps up with the FAA
- Download the FAA's documentsStraight from faa.gov, every week, and again on the days the FAA posts its monthly updates.
- Keep a dated copyWith the day it looked, and the FAA's own update date where the document prints one.
- Compare it with the last copyAnd list every document that changed.
- Update the answers from the new textRewritten from the FAA's own words, and checked against them before the change goes live.
An automatic test checks that every FAA quote in Check a medication appears in the newest saved copy of the document it cites.

Crosscheck is not affiliated with or endorsed by the FAA. It reports what the FAA has published.
Not medical or legal advice
It doesn't tell you what to do about your health or your certificate.
Not your examiner
