Recreational Pilots

[buckman]

Does a Recreational Pilot need a medical certificate?

Thanks!

 

[avbug]

A recreational pilot must hold at least a third class medical certificate to exercise the privileges of that certificate, to take the practical test, and to act as pilot in command of an aircraft for which he or she is rated.

14 CFR 61.3(c)

14 CFR 61.23(a)(3)(ii)

14 CFR 61.39(a)(4)
