“Almost every word in this article about pilot certification is incorrect.”

Kind of thought the same thing.

“Airline Transport Pilot Certificate”

MedClass 3

????????

Either things have changed or something doesn’t make sense. Back when I flew I really wanted to get my ATP but because of my eyesight I could only get a 3rd class medical - which locked me out of ATP. I guess they’ve changed the rules?

When a non-pilot writes about aviation they're likely to get plenty wrong.

It's not that they're being stupid or incompetent, but just ignorant of the basics concerning aviation. They don't know what they don't know.

That's why I'm always skeptical of any news reports on subjects that are outside my area of expertise.
