If I "destroy" my airman medical certificate?

Question

Can I go back to the same Doctor and get a replacement for it. If not, how can I get a replacement?

Here is the form you fill out:

Answer 2

FAA will send you a replacement. Four bucks. And skytrain, I doubt anything "shonkie" is going on here. I destroyed my medical certificate and everything else in my wallet when I fell into a hotel swimming pool in a drunken stupor returning to my room from closing down the bar in the Marriott during one RON. How do you think I know the feds want the four bucks for crying out loud.

Answer 3

Any certificate can be replaced, see Apollo's list of websites.  Some cost money and you'll still have to have something in your pocket to fly (they can send a fax, even a telegram, from OKC).

Answer 4

Why would you want to "destroy" such an important document?

Sounds like you are pulling a shonkie here.

If you are, I hope you get caught out.

Answer 5

Doubtful; you will probably need to get a new one.  Which means a new exam.
