Can you still get an ATP certificate if your first class certificate has a limitation

[@boosti_alex1428]

Yes, Airmen certificates are separate from aviation medical certificates. You’ll just have to abide by the stated limitation.

I am a Student pilot, did not get my private certificate, but I did get 1st class medical certificate on October/27/2020, when do I need to go get a third medical certificate? I am a little confused between dates & privileges.

[@boosti_alex1428]

Your medical will be fine to use for private pilot and CFI usage until October 2025. 1st class is for ATP 2nd class is for commercial 3rd class is for private pilot, sport, and CFI.

@@boosti_alex1428 Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. There is something I forgot to mention, that I am 56 years old, since there is a difference before and after 40 years old, but still each instructor explain to me in different way with different result. that is why I couldn't really figure it out.

@@boosti_alex1428 Thank you so much for you help. This is what I thought but some instructors said it's wrong. Anyway, once I finish my private, I will do Instrument with you. I liked the way your school explains, I wish I knew about you before starting my private. Thanks again

Is better if I take an independent heart test before?

[@cheefussmith9380]

Not really. You’re not going to trick them.

No, just complete a yearly physical with your doctor so your aware of any conditions before seeing an AME.
