Pilot's date of birth July 16,1970
Pilot is exercising privileges that require a 1st class medical certificate
Pilot's current 1st class medical dated July 6, 2010. He was 39 years old at the time of the examination (10 days short of his 40th birthday).
I SAY: This first class medical is good until July 31, 2011, and he can exercise his privileges that require a 1st class medical until July 31, 2011, because he had not yet reached his 40th birthday at the time of examination.
Am I missing something????
This pilot's boss thinks that he needs to get a 1st class medical exam by Jan 31, 2011 because he has since turned 40.
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
