Confidential Consultation
Ideal for: Any applicant (first time or existing) who is reporting for the first time any health conditions such as ADHD, asthma, diabetes, sleep apnea, or has alcohol related incidents. Consultation helps answer any questions regarding CACI conditions and special issuances. Dr Kruse will guide you through the FAA paperwork and exam process by creating an individualized plan for your specific case. She will review and organize your information, and make necessary calls the FAA and/or your treating physicians (with appropriate Release of Records). This process can help reduce deferral time by having all the required documentation prior to the applicant's physical.

Meet Dr Jill Kruse


Flight Time Medical is dedicated to providing comprehensive and efficient flight physicals for pilots.  My mission is to ensure pilots receive top-quality medical evaluations with minimal wait times. I take pride in offering personalized care and attention to all of my clients.  I love flying and talking about airplanes and aerospace topics.  My husband is a retired Major with 4 years USAF active duty and 16 years at the Iowa Air National Guard - 185th Air Refueling Wing.
   

Dr. Kruse has been a private pilot since 2010, an AME since 2012, and a Senior AME since 2014.


Her flight training started at Yankton (YKN) in a Cessna 172.  Currently she flies a Grumman Tiger with Brookings Aerosports Unlimited, Inc. Flying Club at Brookings (BKX).  She is working on her Instrument Rating.


When not at Flight Time Medical Clinic, she works as a full time hospitalist at Brookings Health System.
