In light of the recent Coronavirus Pandemic, the FAA has permitted airmen to continue flying with expired medical certificates thru 30 June 2020. This ONLY applies to airmen who were current as of 1 Mar 2020. And if an airman experiences symptoms of a new medical condition, they must still seek medical attention and not continue flying.
Key points from the FAA COVID-19 AME Memo:
- Valid medical certificates of any class that expire in March or April can go to 30 June
- Including Special Issuances, AASI, etc., but they will need to provide the missing data in July
- You may continue to see Pilots or assist them to understand the extension
- All components of the AME exam can be done without outside referral if you have the necessary approved equipment
