Important information regarding MedXPress
- If an airman uses MedXPress and you import the application, the airmen is not required to sign an 8500-8 form. An electronic signature is captured when the applicant completes a MedXPress application. When you import the application and transmit it to us, the process of storing the electronic signature is complete.
- When an applicant has used MedXPress you should not mail a hard copy to the Aerospace Medical Certification Division (AMCD). If the applicant completes the application using the paper 8500-8 form, you should mail the hard copy after the exam is transmitted.
- When you import a MedXPress application AMCS will assign a GX certificate number to the exam. If you print a certificate through AMCS you should leave the GX number in the system. If you type a certificate using a certificate from your supply of 8500-8 forms, you should replace the GX number with the GG number of the form you used.
- Detailed information about MedXPress
Please remind your airmen they must carry their Authorization Letter at all times while exercising their pilot's license privileges. The Authorization Letter must be in the possession of the airman or be readily available in the aircraft. Airmen must present this Authorization to you at the time of each FAA medical application.
