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.
