FAA Flight Physical

Pilots must meet the minimum safety standards set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to be able to fly. When an FAA-approved physician determines that the pilot successfully meets the mental and physical requirements set by FAA standards, the pilot is issued a medical certificate deeming they are fit to fly.

Class I – Common for commercial airline pilots, first officers and business aviation flight crew. If the pilot is older than 40 years old at time of physical, this certification is valid for 6 months. If the pilot is younger than 40 years old at the time of physical, this certificate is valid for 12 months.

Class II – Commercial non-airline pilots, business aviation flight crew, crop dusters, aerial advertisement pilots, charter pilots, first officers. This certificate is valid for 12 months.

Class III – Recreational or private pilots

Basic Med – Alternative to Class III certification with some added restrictions (e.g., cannot fly in aircraft with more than 6 occupants and with no more than 6,000 pounds)

HIMS (Human Intervention Motivation Study) – Specialized alcohol recovery program for professional pilots. In some instances, a pilot may be issued a special medical certification for these conditions.
