I think the testing is relatively the same. I got a third, and a second, and i don’t remember the difference. You can call the local Medical Examiner, and ask. I think that it is more that the doctor sees the pilot fit enough to perform or act as PIC or SIC, of certain aircraft. I mean, the ME’s get to know you really. They’ll know what you do, so if they think that you are fine. I’d look in the FAR though. It probably states what the differences are.
