I had the idea in my head from somewhere in my training about what medicals were due for what type of operation. And if you are not confronted with it you don't really look into it. You feel you know the answer. In the course of running my business I got a database to track currencies; compliance; inspections and flight and engine times. While I was loading the database and setting up alerts and warnings I noticed that I may have; in the past; been flying commercially on a third class for a couple of short periods. I am not sure since I do not have all my old medicals to check. And by the past I am talking about 4 to 5 years ago. Remembering exactly what happened is difficult. Because of this incident I am super vigilant now about medicals; although because of COVID; I had to use an extension on my last medical. My database now warns me when I am getting close to my medical due date. I have gotten the idea out of my head that I can let a second class turn into a third class.
Reporter reported possibly flying commercially with a third class physical several years ago.
