Third class abroad

An FAA Class 3 Medical is not issued in accordance with ICAO specifically
because the US filed differences with Annex 3. Therefore the medical is
only valid within the confines of the United States.

Doesn't matter what the reg if the airplane is, either..

I guess it depends on the country. ICAO only recognizes class 3
medicals for certain ATC controllers. Private Pilots are requird to
have at least a class 2. Not sure what countries require the strict
ICAO medical requirements though.

Dunno. I'm far from expert on this. I was only repeating what I'd been
told. I'll have to ask this guy for some more details when I talk to him
next. He was talking about flying in JAR land, BTW. Don't know if that
makes any difference, but I'll find out.
I wouldn't be surprised if Canada, for instance, still accepted the FAA 3rd
.. Seems like it's something that will have to be checked out before you
went aviating outside the US though.

I've never had any problems with my 3rd class medical in Canada. I've
mostly not had problems in Mexico too although they seemed confused by
the concept that the 2nd class medical becaming the 3rd class.
However, from my reading of the ICAO medical requirements, I believe
Canada, Mexico, and the US are simply waving the 2nd class private
pilot medical. I wonder if pilots in Europe can fly on a 3rd class
medical.

Wouldn't be a bit surprised if that's the case in Canada. AFAIK all this is
pretty recent. I will be in the UK tomorrow and I will see if I can give
the CAA a buzz and see what the dealie is straight from the horse's mouth.

And yet pilots with third class medicals fly to other countries all the
time. What does the Baja Bush Pilots have to say about this? Why
haven't they made an issue of it?
