PLAN DETAILSYour pilot and medical certificates mean everything and AOPA’s Pilot Protection Services’ trusted legal
counselors and medical certification specialists can help protect them. We assist thousands of members
each year with certificate-related legal and medical issues. Fly with the peace of mind that, as pilots,
we’re here to help keep you flying.
Their years of expertise, combined with AOPA’s national network of over 750 panel attorneys in all 50
states, can help you navigate the legal complexities of alleged airspace violations, potential
enforcement actions, runway incursions, US Customs matters, drug and alcohol related issues, and
more.
AOPA’s team of medical certification specialists has ushered thousands of pilots through the FAA’s
complicated system for medical certification. Medical Certification specialists will submit periodic
inquiries to the FAA in order to monitor the status of your case review and advocate on your behalf, and
can proactively review your medical records prior to submission to the FAA to help avoid unwanted
scrutiny of your records and unnecessary delays in the review and evaluation of your medical
application.
