Every pilot, national and international, needs three types of medical certification which are governed by the laws of the appropriate national CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) for the purpose of aviation security and being able to have a pilot finish his flight hours. Whether private, commercial, student, etc; these three certificates have one simple order, and they are themselves called the world level; they are:

First Class Pilot Medical Certificate- consists of a certificate with a duration of 12 months for those younger than 40 years and 6 months for those older than 40.

Second and Third Class Medical Certificate- this certificate has a duration of 24 months for pilots younger than 40, and 12 months for those older than 40.

Each certificate must be authorized by a CAA approved doctor, and may be issued only to people of stable physical as well as mental health.
