Which option is right for you
There Are 4 Types of FAA Flight Physicals For Pilots
First Class Medical Certificate
What it is needed for: ATP or Airline Transport Pilots
If you are new in your aviation journey and are considering a career as an Airline Pilot and plan on attending a part 141 training program, then the First Class Medical Certificate is likely the best option for you. Pilots looking to fly for airline companies should consider their First Class Medical Certificate early in their training. This helps you ensure you can obtain this certificate before completing your training. Although technically, you only need a Third Class Medical Certificate to solo.
Second Class Medical Certificate
What it is needed for: Commercial flying
The Second Class Medical Certificate is a necessary certificate for pilots who are looking to carry passengers or cargo for hire and other commercial uses. The Second Class Medical Certificate is very similar to the 3rd Class, but you are held to higher standards in certain areas, including vision.
Third Class Medical Certificate
What it is needed for: Private pilot, recreational, and student pilot certificates
The Third Class Medical Certificate is the simplest medical certificate for private, recreational, and student pilots to obtain. This is an ideal option for those looking to fly for themselves. Those looking to fly commercially or for an airline must look at the First and Second Class Medical Certificates.
BasicMed
What it is needed for: BasicMed is an option for many pilots to have the ability to fly without having to obtain their Medical Certificate.
