What are the two types of medical examinations used for flight eligibility?

Urgent and Routine

Preventive and Diagnostic

Initial and Periodic

Two routine exam types determine flight eligibility: initial and periodic. The initial examination establishes the baseline medical fitness before a pilot is issued a certificate, confirming the pilot meets the standards at the start. Periodic examinations are then required at set intervals to re-validate eligibility and catch any health changes that could affect safety. The other terms describe appointment urgency, the purpose of a visit, or the nature of medical conditions, rather than the scheduling and purpose of the standard flight-eligibility exams.

Acute and Chronic
