You should make an appointment with an Aviation Medical Examiner. Click here to find one. They are typically physicians who also hold FAA certifications. They examine your ability to operate aircraft and will issue a combination Student Pilot Certificate/Third Class Medical Certificate. You will need one of these to start your training at Trinity and it’s a good idea to acquire one before coming.
