FAA medical question

[Polarhero]

Hi All

Can anyone tell me if the FAA 2nd class medical downgrades to a 3rd at the end of the 2nd class validation time? Just wondering if i need to bother getting a new one just yet or if i can use the any 3rd class entitelment.


Cheers

Yes, it downgrades to a 3rd Class Medical.

"Class 2 medical certificates are for commercial, non-airline duties as well as private pilot duties. This certificate would be required of crop dusters, charter pilots, corporate pilots, and anyone else who flies commercially. The certificate is good for 1 year for commercial activities and 2 or 3 years for private pilot use."
