Contexto
A student pilot is one who is being trained by an instructor pilot for his or her first full certificate, and is permitted to fly alone (solo) under specific, limited circumstances. Upon request, an FAA-authorized aviation medical examiner (AME) will issue a combined medical certificate and Student Pilot Certificate after completion of a physical examination.
The FAA has identified a series of medical conditions that enables Aviation Medical Examiners (AMEs) to re-issue an airman medical certificate without going through the normal special issuance process.
The first is the provision of health advice (for example, discussion of lifestyle factors such as smoking and exercise). Whilst it may be argued that this is not strictly the role of the aviation medical examiner, many medical practitioners, and applicants, would consider it appropriate, indeed best practice, to discuss such factors as they arise in the course of the medical examination process, and advice on these factors may be relevant to the applicant’s future fitness for aviation duties.
