FAA Aviation Medical Examinations
Please note we do not offer BasicMed examinations, please contact your primary care physician for any BasicMed questions. We will continue to provide examinations for all FAA medical classes.
We are pleased to announce to our Columbus based airman and ATC specialists our new office located at John Glenn International Airport in the LANE Aviation FBO Suite #227. Online appointments at the John Glenn Intl Airport Office are now available. LANE Aviation is adjacent to the control tower. At LANE's gated parking lot, let them know you are there for a medical, there is no charge for parking
Addition appointments are available at our Ashland, Kent and Lorain Ohio office locations.
If you have difficulty finding a time that works for you please call 419.908.5389. We are also located on the field at the Lorain County Airport (KLPR), on the field at Ashland County airport (3G4), and in Stow one mile west of the Kent State University airport. Our goal is to support the aviation medical needs of professional pilots in a relaxed office setting and make the medical certification process as efficient as possible. We work with the FAA Great Lakes Regional Flight Surgeons Office and the FAA Aviation Medical Certification Division when necessary as an advocate for flight safety to reduce delays involving complex aeromedical issues, provided those issues do not impact aviation safety concerns. While our special interest is providing convenient appointment scheduling to and advising professional pilots regarding aviation related healthcare issues we provide the same service to general aviation pilot as well.
