For a VFR flight review, my medical does not need to be current, however, does this also hold for an IPC?
Thanks

Certificate and rating checkride requirements aside, the only thing a private pilot requires a medical for is acting as PIC or required crewmember.
Does that help answer your question?

Question: I no longer have a medical certificate.
But, I have all the fancy stuff on my airman's certificate. Can I rent a Cessna 182 from the local FBO with a CFI, get current with him/her, then do a flight review and the instrument competency check (or whatever it is presently call)?
Sure. I don't see why not. 61.23 has a pretty extensive list of when a medical certificate is required. What in that list do you think prevents you receiving instruction and endorsements from a CFI?Question: I no longer have a medical certificate.

All the money it would take to document permissible medical conditions for a Third Class medical. And, to try to document the visits to doctors since my last medical some 17 years ago. At my age I don't even want to act as PIC, but I would like to become proficient again after a career of flying.What is keeping you from your medical?

You only have to document the last three years.And, to try to document the visits to doctors since my last medical some 17 years ago.
No. It's on my "maybe list."Have you contacted a CFII about it yet?
I wasn't aware of that, especially for someone who has a long history of FAA medical certifications. I never flunked one, so I could be a Sport Pilot, but that doesn't interest me.You only have to document the last three years.
Two separate issues.I wasn't aware of that, especially for someone who has a long history of FAA medical certifications. I never flunked one, so I could be a Sport Pilot, but that doesn't interest me.
Go for it!No. It's on my "maybe list."
As long as the instructor is current and holds a medical, then you don't need a medical for either a FR or IPC.For a VFR flight review, my medical does not need to be current, however, does this also hold for an IPC?

The logging reg doesn't require you to act as PIC in order to log PIC. You just need to have the appropriate ratings on your pilot certificate and be the sole manipulator of the controls. The medical certificate reg says that you need one in order to act as a required crew member. When the instructor is acting as PIC in an aircraft that only requires one pilot, you're not a required crew member even if you're manipulating the controls.Yeuuppp all is good, just can't log the training as PIC... medical is next Friday..
