Thank you for this very interesting and informative presentation. I have a question regarding the MedExpress Simulator: If an individual uses that simulator, what happens to the information that the person submits? Is it stored, or archived, anywhere? And, is the information, specifically medical information, accessible by the FAA for use or consideration at a later time?

I got into the simulator, just out of curiosity, and the first thing it asked for was identifying information. I elected not to continue. I guess I'll have to read the AME guide. Being an interested layman, I can probably understand most of it.

@@johnopalko5223 I think I would have exited the simulator too, at least postponed using it, because of the ID information requested. I am VERY guarded about my personal information until I know without any doubt to whom I am providing it to.

Our MedXPress Simulator is for internal use only. When completed a PDF copy of the completed simulator is sent to you. A copy is also sent to our physicians if you specifically request the review. It is not sent to any physicians or government organizations as it is not a real MedXPress 8500-8; only a practice tool. The only required information is the email address. The email address is needed to send you a copy and provide feedback, if requested. The rest of the items are on there to simulate the real thing to the maximum extent, but are not required to complete the simulator.
