FAA FastTrack ADHD Evaluation
I'm Corinne, a licensed clinical psychologist and pilot who understands what's at stake when your medical certificate is on the line. I serve clients in more than 40 states View List and specialize in FAA-compliant psychological evaluations for pilots and pilot applicants navigating the aeromedical certification process.
FAA FastTrack ADHD Evaluation for Pilots
If you have a history of ADHD or past use of ADHD medication, the FAA requires a psychological evaluation before you can obtain or renew your medical certificate. The FastTrack pathway was created by the FAA as a streamlined alternative to full neuropsychological testing — but only if you meet specific eligibility criteria.
As a doctoral-level licensed psychologist with training and experience in ADHD evaluation, I meet the FAA's requirements to complete the ADHD FastTrack Summary and clinical report. As a pilot myself, I also understand the aeromedical system from the inside, and I write reports that are built to move through FAA review without unnecessary delays.
Who Qualifies for the ADHD FastTrack?
The FAA FastTrack pathway is available to pilot applicants who meet all of the following criteria:
- Off all ADHD medication for at least four years
- No current ADHD symptoms
- No instability in academic, occupational, or social functioning in the past four years
- No history of other psychiatric conditions (with limited exceptions for anxiety or depression that independently meet FastTrack criteria)
If you don't meet these criteria, you may need a Standard Track evaluation, which involves a more extensive neuropsychological testing battery. I can help you determine which pathway applies to your situation.
What the Evaluation Includes
The FastTrack evaluation is a face-to-face clinical interview conducted by secure video or in person. During the appointment, I will review your full ADHD history, medication history, academic and occupational functioning, and current presentation. I then complete the FAA ADHD Summary form and produce a detailed clinical report that addresses every item the FAA requires.
The evaluation fee is $1250, which covers the clinical interview, record review, FAA ADHD Summary, and clinical report. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please contact me to discuss other payment options.
Complete the FastTrack Before Your AME Exam
One of the most common and costly mistakes applicants make is going straight to their Aviation Medical Examiner without completing the FastTrack process first. When your AME encounters an ADHD history without the required documentation in hand, they typically have no choice but to defer your application to the FAA — and once deferred, the FAA controls the timeline, not you or your AME.
The best approach is to complete your FastTrack evaluation and gather all required documentation before you ever schedule your AME appointment. This means your AME can review the completed paperwork at the time of your exam and, if everything qualifies, issue your medical certificate on the spot.
Documents You'll Need to Gather
Before your evaluation, you'll need to collect the following records:
- Pharmacy records covering at least the past four years
- Academic transcripts
- Prior medical and mental health records related to ADHD
- Any previous psychological or neuropsychological evaluations
I'll walk you through exactly what's needed when you schedule your appointment, so nothing falls through the cracks.
License and Experience
I hold a PSYPACT license that allows me to see clients across more than 40 states, making it easier to complete your evaluation regardless of where you're based. My background includes extensive experience in psychological assessment and clinical evaluation of ADHD across the lifespan.
As both a clinician and a pilot, I bring firsthand knowledge of the aeromedical certification process. I write reports that speak the FAA's language and address every required element, so your documentation supports a smooth path to certification.
