Medical extension
I had someone tell me they had gotten a 1st Class medical, but the AME put a restriction that it could not be used for 2nd/3rd class privileges after the 1st privileges went away after 6 months.
I've never heard of this. it doesn't pass the sniff test, and I want to see if any of you have heard of this.

i agree unusual ... but some of the new HIMS SI's especially 1st class can be individualized in the first few years. Upon FAA direction only time limits can be placed on any med certificate by the AME. There are other rare medical issues that same can happen

It doesn't say "special issuance" on the medical, but the wording I described above gives it away.
