Process a medical, $42.00 (each time!)

Ouch!!!! Looks like they really want to kill general aviation.


Naw, that'll just encourage more pilots to skip the medical.


I haven't moved, so I still use my yellow one from 1995.

That's not a problem, is it? Nobody's ever even asked to see it.

Nobody ever asked to see your marriage license either, did they? :~)

My last medical cost around $175.

That $175 was what the AME that I used charges.

Near as I can tell, he was doing a very nice business.

So then you next on if the fee goes into effect will cost $217.

As a portion of all my flying expenses, this is chump change.

Who pays for the cost of processing a Medical now?

No straws there, right?

I just paid $75 for a 3rd class about three weeks ago.

I didn't realize there was so much variation. I guess it would pay to shop
around a bit.
