(6) When exercising the privileges of a ground instructor certificate; more
(vi) Exercising the privileges of a flight instructor certificate and acting as the pilot in command or as a required flight crewmember if the flight is conducted under the conditions and limitations set forth in § 61.113(i). here
(ii) Privileges of a commercial pilot certificate; or
(E) If the individual has been diagnosed with any medical condition that may impact the ability of the individual to fly, be under the care and treatment of a State-licensed physician when acting as pilot in command of an operation conducted under § 61.113(i).
First, by way of disclaimer, you must recall that all pilots have a duty to ground themselves at any time they themselves become aware of a personal medical issue regardless of the calculated expiration date of your medical certificate. This duty exists whether or not the AME or FAA has knowledge of the medical issue. This is a personal and professional responsibility of all pilots. Assuming you remain in good health (to the best of your knowledge), then your certification will be valid for the highest level of privileges initially approved for at least 6 months. After that, depending on your age and the type of aviation operations, your Medical Certificate will still be valid for up to 5 years (60 months) for young pilots exercising private aviation operations. In all higher level certificates (1st Class, 2nd Class), the pilot medical certificate validity cascades to the next lower class at each expiration point described in the table. The expiration timeline is derived from your historic age at time of your last exam and this is compared to the current class privileges that you (the pilot) intend to exercise on the present day. This time shift can be a confusing concept at first, so here are some examples to illustrate: [links]
24-calendar months for operations requiring a third-class medical certificate, or plus more
12-calendar months for operations requiring a first-class medical certificate if the airman has not reached age 40 on or before the date of examination
12-calendar months for operations requiring a second-class medical certificate, or plus
12-calendar months for operations requiring a second-class medical certificate, or plus more
24-calendar months for operations requiring a third-class medical certificate, or plus here

It seems like a simple question, How long will my Pilot Medical Certification be Good for? Unfortunately, duration of an airman's medical certificate is one of the most convoluted and confusing topics in aviation. We'll attempt to demystify the calculation. As delineated in the above table, the answer to this common, practical question can be complex. In all cases the starting points for determining the duration of your flight physical is to factor the class of the certificate and the age of the pilot on the date that the flight physical examination was performed. Compare these factors to the privileges you intend to exercise (private, commercial, etc) to answer the common question: am I medically legal for the aviation activity I am considering? The timer starts ticking after the remainder of the month when your AME issued the Airman Medical Certificate plus X additional months. [links]

Duration of a medical certificate. Use the following table to determine duration for each class of medical certificate:
A DOT physical exam is valid for up to 24 months. The medical examiner may also issue a medical examiner's certificate for less than 24 months when it is desirable to monitor a condition, such as high blood pressure.
A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical examination must be conducted by a licensed "medical examiner" listed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) National Registry. The term includes, but is not limited to, doctors of medicine (MD), doctors of osteopathy (DO), physician assistants (PA), advanced practice nurses (APN), and doctors of chiropractic (DC). more
If the medical examiner finds that the person he/she examined is physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), the medical examiner will furnish one copy of the results to the person who was examined and complete a Medical Examiner's Certificate.
Drivers with physical impairments, which affect their ability to safely operate CMVs, must obtain a "variance" from their State in order to be approved to drive commercially. The variance document must be carried with the commercial driver whenever they are operating a commercial motor vehicle. A Skill Performance Evaluation (SPE) is a special type of "variance" required for drivers with impaired or missing limbs (e.g., a hand or finger, an arm, foot, or leg). Drivers with missing limbs, if eligible, must obtain an SPE certificate. The commercial driver must always carry the SPE certificate at all times.
State driver licensing agencies (SDLAs) will be adding your medical self-certification status and the information on your medical examiner's certificate to your Commercial driver's license system (CDLIS) record. more
If you are subject to the USDOT medical examiner certification requirement, provide a copy of each new USDOT medical examiner certificate to your SDLA prior to the expiration of your current medical examiner certificate. The medical examiner certificate is often referred to as your "medical card."

Instructions on how your State is collecting your ME Certificate information: more
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has reviewed each State's commercial driver’s license motor vehicle record (CDLIS MVR) for compliance with the Medical Certification (Med Cert) requirements. Effective January 30, 2015 FMCSA has verified that every State is posting the basic, minimal medical certification information which allows a motor carrier to validate if a driver is medically qualified. The basic information consists of the driver’s medical status and the expiration date of the medical examiner’s certificate. In addition, most States are posting the complete medical certification information. All States are working to produce the complete CDLIS MVR with all the required MedCert information. In the interim, FMCSA has advised both its staff and roadside enforcement personnel to accept proof of a driver’s medical certification status and expiration date on a CDLIS MVR, as the basic information required to substantiate that a driver is medically qualified. more
