The FAA Third-Class Medical Certificate is required for private pilots, recreational pilots, student pilots, and flight instructors who are not exercising commercial privileges. This is the most common type of aviation medical certificate.

Third-class medical examinations have the least stringent standards of the three classes, making aviation accessible to more pilots while still ensuring safety. The certificate is valid for 60 months for pilots under age 40 and 24 months for pilots age 40 and over.

BlueHive connects student pilots beginning their aviation journey and experienced private pilots with Aviation Medical Examiners for their medical certification needs.

FMCSA Launches Motus — New U.S. DOT Registration System With Biometric Identity Verification

high

FMCSA rolled out Motus, the U.S. DOT Registration System, replacing the legacy network of loosely connected registration applications for motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and other regulated entities. Motus introduces mandatory identity verification using government-issued IDs and digital facial scans plus third-party business validation, targeting the "chameleon" and reincarnated carriers that exploited the old low-validation framework. Carriers need a Login.gov account to access Motus and must use the same account previously tied to their FMCSA Portal access to retain their registration data.
