Flight physical

[Slavko Vorkapitch]

Anybody know what is the maximum age for taking the flight physical ??
My 81 year old father has started flight lessons (again).

Thanks in advance,

If someone can make it to the doctors office, they can take the
physical... unless you know an AME who makes house calls.

Good fo rhim! I am 72, and the holder of a Class III medical, and I
know a couple of 80-year-olds who are in better shape than I am.

In response to the original question, $85 in Chicago - used the list
from AOPA, I think. The 2 people I have used were both weird. The
new one takes only cash. His secretary does most of the work, and the
hearing test is a quartz clock that he gradually moves toward your
head while bus traffic rumbles by outside the window. You're supposed
to nod your head in time with the clicks.

AME's are not allowed to make house calls (at least not for the purposes
of the flight physicals). They must do them at their designated office.

Are you sure about that? At the FBO where I used to rent the AME came
regularly to conduct physicals in the groundschool classroom.

There are a couple who do that around here. One of them gives exams at Old Bridge
airport (3N6).

If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have
been looking for it.
