6: The duration of this authorization, which is usually different from the duration of your current medical certification.
- The conditions of continued medical certification during the 6 years (in this case) of special authorization.
- Note that the periodicity of flight physicals is different from the periodicity of status reports.
(You should separate in your mind and in your schedule the medical monitoring from your flight physicals. Do not try to do these simultaneously!
- Trying to get the current status report done by your AME at the time of a flight physical is a mistake. It will at least inconvenience your AME and may delay medical certification.
