Abstract
The FAA is amending its regulations to require airmen hold a valid second-class medical certificate when exercising the privileges of a commercial pilot certificate in a balloon for compensation or hire except when conducting flight training in a balloon. In addition, the FAA makes miscellaneous amendments related to medical certification requirements for special medical flight tests and a minor change to the BasicMed regulations.
