Student License

The student license is the first stop on your way to achieving your flying goals. You must get a student license before applying for any other license. After receiving your medical certificate your instructor will “activate” your license if you meet the student requirements applicable to you. Stop by our office today and get a list of local medical examiners that can give a FAA physical exam. If you have a medical condition Pacific recommends that you consult with us regarding your flying goals. Consultations are always free! Just call 541-479-2230
