Questions that you always wanted to ask your AME but didn't
Now you can!
Dr. Crosswell is a board certified physician who has practiced medicine in Upstate SC for more than 20 years and became interested in aviation at an early age, having seen his uncle fly his Beechcraft Baron in and out of their family farm in the SW Georgia. He has a private pilot certificate, instrument rating and high performance endorsement, and enjoys spending too much time at the stick, primarily in a normally aspirated Cirrus SR22 G6.
Inspired to support the aviation community and encouraged by his CFII, he received his AME designation by the FAA in 2024 and looks forward to working with the aviation community to keep the skies safe and pilots flying.
