Walk-in: Upon walk-in you will be asked to fill out a form with your information.
Phone: You can call our front desk at (808) 656-1628 or flight nurse/medic at (808) 656-1620 and let them know that you need to do a flight physical Part 1.
Q: I am new to the island. How do I get a New Duty/Local UPSLIP?
A: You will need to call the front desk at (808) 656-1628 and let them know that you are new to the island and will need a new duty/local UPSLIP. A Telephone Consult will be sent to your unit provider and their care team will contact you within three (3) business days. UPSLIPS are sent via e-mail by your provider.
Q: My Flight Physical has been approved by Ft. Rucker. What do I need to do to get an UPSLIP?
A: Provide your full name, phone number, unit/company, and DOD # to our front desk by calling (808) 656-1628 or arriving in person to the clinic. The provider/medic will contact you within three (3) business days. UPSLIPS are sent via e-mail by your provider.

A: Please come in during our walk-in hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Friday afternoons from 1300 – 1430. Inform the front desk that you need an EKG/Pilot measurements and our staff will assist you.
Q: What is my birth month window?
A: Your birth month window is 2 months prior to your birth month. For example, if you were born in December, your birth month window starts October 1^st and ends December 31^st. You can begin your Part 1 during this time. AERO recommends you start early due to unexpected circumstances that could occur. Starting the Part 1 early will prevent the need for an extension in the future.

Q: Can somebody else pick up my packet for me?
A: No. Due to HIPAA, we can only give the packet to the person it is designated for. The packets are made specifically for that person and personal information is located in the packets.
Q: I want to be a pilot but my unit is not within Aviation. What are the requirements to start my packet?
A: First, you will need to complete the SIFT Test. You will need to have a score of 40 or higher in order to qualify. Please contact the education center at Schofield for the most current information.
Second, you will need a MEMO from your commanding officer stating that you are required to do a flight physical CLASS 1. Please provide your POC contact information in the MEMO. If you need a template, please come to CAB to request for one.
Further instructions will be provided by staff once these have been completed.
