Therefore, to ensure you start flying by the end of September in Year 2 it is highly encouraged to get your medical exam done in spring term of Year 1.

A Category 1 Medical is required to validate your commercial pilots' licence, which is the mainstay of your aviation program at MtA.

A Category 3 Medical is traditionally for private pilots unable to hold a Category 1 Medical. You will not be able to proceed in the MtA aviation program with only a Category 3.

This will also ensure that your health and medical condition will allow you to hold a Category 1 Medical.
