CACI Conditions

There are now 19 medical conditions that used to be handled under Special Issuance, but now may be handled directly by the AME under a category called CACI (Conditions AME’s Can Issue).  If the medical condition meets specific CACI criteria, the AME may issue upon receipt of a report from the treating doctor indicating stability.  We have created instruction sheets for each of these conditions which you may print and take to your doctor to explain what information is needed.  To avoid delays in certification, please bring your doctor’s report with you to your flight physical. As always, your doctor is welcome to call our AME’s for clarification, if needed.  All reports should be faxed, mailed, or brought in person but NOT emailed.

New OSA Requirement

As of March 2015, the FAA now requires your AME to screen for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. If you have OSA, not only can this adversely affect your health and well-being, but it has also been found to be a safety hazard in the transportation industry. Please view the following video so you can understand what to expect at your next flight physical.
