Medical certificate

Hey everybody, I just received this from one of our neighbor EAA chapter Newsletter editors.

Hello Everyone,

We received word from the FAA that there are a significant number of cases where pilots are cutting the "Conditions of Issue" off of their medical certificates.  For years we have been accustomed to this text being placed on the backside of our medicals.  With the use of modern printers at your AME's office these are now to the right of your medical on the same sheet.  The intention is to fold the paper. 

The instructions "Fold Here" are not explicit and removing the "Conditions of Issue" actually invalidate your medical.  Pilots are actually not being allowed to fly in Airshows because of this invalidation of their medical certificates.  

Sure enough....I checked my own medical and I had cut this part off.  Please check your medical and be sure its attached.  If you find (like me) that you didn't "Fold Here" please see the attached link for the FAA site on how to apply for a lost or destroyed Medical Certificate.  Fly Safe!
