Medical Certificates

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides for three classes of airman medical certificates:

First-Class Medical:

This medical is for the Airline Transport Pilot, valid 6 months.

Second-Class Medical:

For the Commercial Pilot, valid 12 months.

Third-Class Medical:

For the Private Pilot, valid 36 months.

Please Note:

If you're 40 years or older it will be good only 24 months.

Student Pilot Certificate

Student pilots get a yellow medical certificate regardless which class of medical they are applying for.

This medical serves also as a student pilot certificate and will expire at the end of the 24th month after the month of the date of examination shown on the certificate.

Our Student Pilot Service includes detailed medical facts!

Please Note:

If you are going to get your medical outside the States, you are well advised to make sure that your application is filled out correctly.

This applies especially to students from non English speaking countries.

Some medical aviation examiners simply forget to double check the form before they sign and send it off.

If you made a mistake on your application, you will get a notice from the FAA to provide the missing information.

You must reply in this case within 30 days or otherwise they will request you to return the medical.
