I understand you need a current medical for your application to be considered current. I've also read that folks have mentioned they needed to have their birthday blacked out on any paperwork.

That being said, what do they consider a current medical? Six or 12 month validity period? Do they differentiate if you're under/over 40?

Is it worth getting a new medical every six months to be safe?

Thanks!

As far as the birthday being blacked out, that's only once you reach an interview and actual human eyes are viewing the application. I will assume that the system won't allow your app to even be considered if you're not current. Someone knows better but I'm not sure many/any human eyes actually see your app until the computer spits out your name to be interviewed. There are a couple guys here who are involved in the hiring process who will likely answer more definitively.

I'm not involved in hiring but I am under 40. I did my Class 1 as required by FAR once a year and the computer didn't spit me out.

The blacking out of birthdays is just for your actual interview documentation and spelled out in the packet you receive.

Add me to the list of people wondering if old M&Gs mean the same as the limited new ones. Any further info is greatly appreciated.
