The FAA Second-Class Medical Certificate is required for pilots exercising commercial pilot privileges, including those who fly for compensation or hire but are not serving as airline transport pilots. This examination is conducted by FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiners (AMEs).

Second-class medical examinations assess the same health categories as first-class, though some standards are slightly less stringent. The certificate is valid for 12 months when exercising commercial pilot privileges.

BlueHive helps commercial pilots, flight instructors, and aviation companies connect with qualified AMEs for efficient medical certification.
