Which medical certificate class is required for the Global Express operation?

• A. Third Class Medical.
• B. Second Class Medical.
• C. First Class Medical.
• D. No medical is required.

Answer: (C)

Medical certificates align with the level of operation. A Global Express used in charter work is a large, passenger-carrying operation, which requires airline transport pilot privileges. Those privileges come with a first-class medical. So to act as pilot in command in this type of operation, you must hold a first-class medical. A third-class medical is only for private pilot operations, a second-class medical covers other commercial operations that don’t require ATP privileges, and no medical is not allowed for for-hire flight.
