3rd Class Medical
Hi! I am new to this particular forum, but have been visiting one of the
others in the network for some time. I'm looking for opinions on my 3rd Class Medical status. My last physical was in 2005, and given that you need to renew it every 3 years, I am due in 2008. I turn 40 in September of this year and at 40 or older, it's back to the 2 year interval. At my last physical, the doctor suggested that I get another one before I turn 40 because of the change from 3 to 2 years. It doesn't really make sense, because as it is, I would be required to go when I'm 40, and then 42, 44 etc. If I follow the doctor's advice, I'd be going at 39, then 42, 44, etc., so in the overall picture it really doesn't change things for me. This puzzles me why my doctor would make such a recommendation. So my question is ultimately this: After 40, do the 3rd Class Medical standards change? Are the vision requirements the same? I look forward to others' thoughts on this topic! Slez -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...ation/200701/1 |
