    Step 2: Add your medical

    Answer four questions from your certificate. Crosscheck works out your dates with the FAA's rule.

    Crosscheck's home screen with a made-up first-class medical: active, with the date first-class privileges end and the days left, then the dates second-class and third-class privileges end.
    Home, once the four answers are in. The medical is made up.
    • The class on your certificate, the date of your exam, whether you were 40 or older that day, any limitations printed on it, and its own end date, if it has one.
    • Not sure of your age that day? Enter your date of birth instead. It is used once and not saved.
    • You see when each class ends, when your medical steps down, and the date to book your next exam by.
    • Being 40 or older on the day of your exam makes first-class and third-class privileges shorter. Your dates count from the month of your exam, not the day.

    Step 3: Keep your records

    Add a doctor visit or a medication when it happens, and keep copies of your documents. Then it's all in one place when you apply.

    My doctor visits: two made-up visits in the last three years, each with the doctor, the place, the reason and the date, with Add a visit and Copy for MedXPress.
    My doctor visits, on a computer and a phone. The visits are made up.
    • Doctor visits: every visit in the last 3 years (Item 19).
    • Medications: everything you take (Item 17).
    • Documents: PDFs and photos. A doctor's note dated more than 90 days before your exam is flagged.
    • My MedXPress Profile: your answers for MedXPress's pages, kept ready.

    Sources: MedXPress, the FAA's online application (FAA Form 8500-8), Items 17 and 19. The 90-day note, the FAA's page on getting a medical certificate (opens in a new tab). FAA date 14 May 2026. Checked 14 Oct 2026.

    Step 4: Walk in ready

    Apply on MedXPress, the FAA's online application, at medxpress.faa.gov (opens in a new tab). Then bring what the FAA asks for.

    Get ready for my exam: a made-up MedXPress confirmation number, with the days left to have the exam before the FAA deletes the application.
    Get ready for my exam. The confirmation number is made up.

    Before you apply

    • Copy for MedXPress shows each visit and medication as the form's own boxes. Press a box to copy it.
    • When you submit, save the confirmation number in Crosscheck.
    • The FAA deletes an application if the exam doesn't happen within 60 days. Crosscheck counts the days left.

    On the day

    • Your MedXPress confirmation number, and a government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license or a passport.
    • Your glasses or contacts, when your certificate has a limitation about them.
    • If you have a condition the FAA has asked about before, the examiner may also need your doctor's notes.

    Add your exam appointment, and it shows in My Reminders. A free account gets one automatic reminder about a month before your medical date.

How Crosscheck keeps up

Straight answers

What Crosscheck is, and isn't

It reports what the FAA has published. The decisions stay with your examiner and the FAA.

Crosscheck does

  • Reports what the FAA has published, with the source and the date, so you can check it yourself.
  • Works out your dates from the FAA's rule.
  • Assumes you report everything: every doctor visit and every medication, the way MedXPress asks.
  • Lists what to bring on the day, from the FAA's own page.

Crosscheck does not

  • Predict whether a certificate will be issued. Your examiner and the FAA decide.
  • Give medical advice. Ask your doctor or your examiner.
  • Replace your Aviation Medical Examiner (AME), who does your exam.
  • Speak for the FAA. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the FAA.
