INFORMATION FOR APPLICANT

Application For Airman Medical Certificate
or
Airman Medical and Student Pilot Certificate
Privacy Act Statement
The information on the attached FAA Form 8500-8, Application For Airman Medical Certificate or Airman Medical and
Student Pilot Certificate, is solicited under the authority of Title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) (Transportation)
sections 109(9), 40113(a), 44701-44703, and 44709 (1994) formerly codified in the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as
amended, and Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 67, Medical Standards and Certification.
Except for your Social Security Number (SSN), submission of this information is mandatory. Incomplete submission will
result in delay of further consideration or denial of your application for a medical certificate or medical and student pilot
certificate. Other than your SSN, the purpose of the information is to determine whether you meet Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) medical requirements to hold a medical certificate or medical and student pilot certificate. The
information will also be used to provide data for the FAA’s automated medical certification system to depict airman
population patterns and to update certification procedures and medical standards. For air traffic control specialists
(ATCS) employed by the Federal Government, the information requested will be used as a basis for determining
medical eligibility for initial and continuing employment. The information becomes part of the FAA Privacy Act system
of records, DOT/FAA-847, General Air Transportation Records on Individuals. These records and information in these
records may be used (a) to provide basic airman certification and qualification information to the public upon request;
(b) to disclose information to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in connection with its investigation
responsibilities; (c) to provide information about airmen to Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies when
engaged in the investigation and apprehension of drug law violators; (d) to provide information about enforcement
actions arising out of violations of the Federal Aviation Regulations to government agencies, the aviation industry, and
the public upon request; (e) to disclose information to another Federal agency, or to a court or an administrative
tribunal, when the Government or one of its agencies is a party to a judicial proceeding before the court or involved in
administrative proceedings before the tribunal; and (f) to disclose information to other Federal agencies for verification
of the accuracy or completeness of the information and; (g) to comply with the Prefatory Statement of General Routine
Uses for the Department of Transportation.
Submission of your SSN is not required by law and is voluntary. Refusal to furnish your SSN will not result in the denial
of any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law. Your SSN is solicited to assist in performing the agency’s functions
under 49 U.S.C. (Transportation). If supplied, it will be used by the FAA to associate all information in agency files
relating to you. If you refuse to supply your SSN, a substitute number or other identifier will be assigned, as required.
The written consent authorization of this form under No. 20, Applicant’s Declaration, permits the FAA to request
information, if any, pertaining to your driving record from the National Driver Register (NDR). The FAA will then match
such NDR information with the information you provide on the medical history part of the form. Since the NDR identifies
only probable matches, the FAA will verify the NDR information it receives with the state of record. You have the right
to request an NDR file check to determine if it contains any information and, if so, the accuracy of such information.
Notarized requests may be sent to: DOT/NHTSA/NTS-32, 400 7th Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20590-0001, and
must contain your complete name and date of birth. Other information about height, weight, and eye color will ensure
correct positive identification.

Paperwork Reduction Act Burden Statement
A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be
subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control
Number for this information collection is 2120-0034. Public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be
approximately 1.5 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data needed, completing and reviewing the collection of information.
All responses to this collection of information are mandatory to be reported on occasion (as needed) based on the
duration of the three classes of medical certificates as specified in 14 CFR §61.3(d) and will vary among respondents.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration,
10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524
