Medical Certificate
Explanation:
Pilots must have a commercial pilot’s license with an instrument rating, must have a medical certificate, and must be certified to fly the types of aircraft that their employer operates. Physical requirements are strict. A medical exam, from an FAA-designated physician, must be taken to get a medical certificate.

Depending on the aircraft that you’ll fly, additional ratings may be necessary such as multi-engine, floatplane, and instrument. All required licenses, permits, ratings, endorsements, and medical certifications must be valid and current.

Certificado de Capacidade Física (CFF)
physical (examination)


Explanation:
This is non-technical terminology common throughout many or most fields but not necessarily all. It is simply called a "physical" which is short for "physical examination." In a particular field or sector it may carry additional classifications or identifiers such as "Level 2" or "Cat 1."

"Flight physical" is probably the most common type: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_physical

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, the terms offered by my colleagues may be technically correct within certain spheres, they are not at all widely used in American English vernacular.

  -> Yes but if a person says he has a physical, surely he has the certificate. I was speaking toward comman vernacular rather than technicalities.
