Know what is missing while there is still time to get it.
Preflight turns a recurring records scramble into a file you can update, review, and reuse.
-
01
Build the plan
Start with your certificate goal and history. See the records to prepare and why they are on the list.
-
02
Collect the records
Upload what you have. After identity verification, send scoped requests for what is missing.
-
03
Share a focused packet
Select the pages your AME needs, then grant expiring access or send a protected packet link.
Arrive with the documentation already organized.
Preflight keeps the plan, clinic requests, returned records, packet versions, and AME access in one readiness file that stays useful after the appointment.
Create your readiness file- Plan
- See the evidence to prepare and why it matters
- Collect
- Request missing records and track who owns the next action
- Package
- Select the exact source material your AME receives
- Reuse
- Keep prior packets and correspondence ready for the next cycle
One view of the work ahead.
The dashboard separates what needs you from what is waiting on a clinic or examiner. Every open item has an owner and a next action.
This exam becomes the starting point for the next one.
FAA medical timing varies by certificate class, age, and operating privileges. Preflight keeps prior packets, FAA letters, specialist records, and request history together so the next cycle begins with an updated file.
Your file stays under your control.
Access is scoped to the records you choose, expires automatically, and can be revoked from your account.
Verified requests
Signed clinic requests require verified pilot identity before an authorization can be sent.
Separate ID storage
Identity documents stay outside the medical file and are not shared with AMEs or records desks.
Expiring access
AME access and packet links are limited, logged, and revocable.
Clear boundary
Preflight organizes records. FAA systems, MedXPress, AMEs, and agencies make official determinations.
Where Preflight fits.
Does Preflight replace MedXPress?
No. Pilots still complete the official FAA Form 8500-8 in MedXPress, and AMEs use authorized FAA systems. Preflight organizes the records and preparation around that process.
Who controls what the AME receives?
You do. Provider access is tied to the exact packet you select, with an expiration date, version history, access log, and revocation control.
Is every pilot medical annual?
No. FAA medical duration varies by certificate class, age, and the privileges being exercised. First-class privileges may require renewal at six or twelve months, while other privileges can run longer. See 14 CFR 61.23.
Is Preflight making a HIPAA claim?
HIPAA applicability depends on the specific relationship and workflow. Required agreements and account configurations are determined for each provider relationship. See the security posture.
