Was at the Dr office this morning for a annual check up and while sitting in there I was digging through my wallet. Discovered that my 3rd class medical was issued 3-3-06.
My understanding was these are good for 3 years when your under 40 years old.
I figured I wanted a excuse to go flying today, so I called a Dr that does medicals at a airport about 60 miles east of my airport. While on the phone with him were going over my info and he tells me I don't need to see him till 2011! He said there is a new rule with medicals for under 40 years old, that the 3rd class is good now for 5 years instead of every 3.
I just want to make sure before I stick the current medical back in my wallet and forget about it. Thanks
