Is it a requirement that the FAA has the date of your last CMEC?
Background: My Course dates and CMEC dates have never matched as I took the course once BasicMed was rolled out but didn't have the CMEC until several months later. At the time I had a Second Class SI so it didn't really matter. Fast forward 7 years and from the FAA's perspective here are my dates:
BasicMed Course Date: 3/8/2023 - Expires 3/31/2025
BasicMed CMEC Date: 10/5/2020 - Expires 10/5/2024
I was unable to get my next annual physical scheduled with my PCP close to 10/5/2024, so he completed a new CMEC last year with a 10/17/2023 date - which would be valid until 10/17/2028 (or 10/31/2028 if the FAA fixes the CMEC duration). I don't see any way to get the updated CMEC date to the FAA without taking the course again. But is it really necessary? I have all the required and valid documentation of my CMEC and Course completion. I don't see any requirement that the FAA needs the dates, so am I good waiting until 3/2025 to take the course, at which time the FAA will receive an update? Has anyone had any experience with this scenario/question?
