What is the expiration date of a third class medical certificate issued to a 36-year-old pilot on August 10?

The third-class medical certificate expiration date for a pilot is determined based on the age of the pilot at the time the certificate is issued. For a pilot who is 36 years old, the certificate is valid for 60 months, or 5 years.

However, there is an important consideration regarding when the expiration occurs. The expiration date is aligned with the last day of the month in which the certificate was issued. Given that the certificate was issued on August 10, the correct expiration date would be August 31, five years later.

This means that if the certificate was issued on August 10, 2023, it would expire on August 31, 2028. This timing is important for pilots to ensure they maintain valid medical certifications to continue flying.
