Default First Class Medical over 40

If I had a 1st class medical in Jan, does it revert to 2nd class at the end of June or July?

July 1st you can no longer exercise first class privileges. (Technically it remains a first class, but what you can do with it changes)

Technically, wouldn’t it be valid until the end of July?

from the FAA AME guide:

  1. First Class Medical Certificate: A first class medical certificate is valid for the remainder of the month of issue; plus
    • 6 calendar months for operations requiring a first class medical certificate if the airman is age 40 or over on or before the date of the examination, or
    • 12-calendar months for operations requiring a first-class medical certificate if the airman has not reached age 40 on or before the date of examination, or
    • 12 calendar months for operations requiring a second class medical certificate, or
    • 24 calendar months for operations requiring a third class medical certificate if the airman is age 40 or over on or before the date of the examination, or
    • 60 calendar months for operations requiring a third class medical certificate if the airman has not reached age 40 on or before the date of examination.

Yes, you get the remainder of the month of issue as a freebie (all classes). The you get the specified number of whole months after that. The 1C over-40 medical is invalid on the 1st day of the seventh whole month after issue (ie Aug 1).
