Hopped into a C172 today for first flight when I walked in the FBO the guy asked how he can help and I told him I was interested in flight lessons. Immediately we talked and got my background and I said 'When are you available' He said 'Wanna go now?' So we went. Went through checklist, hopped...

Ah Yes How could I forget her

I've filled out my Basic Med and will see my PCP soon just as a backup - Thanks guys! I plan on routinely renewing my Class 3 SI however just so i am not restricted. God forbid something happens in the Aviation world that bites me in the ass I have basic med as a backup

Thanks for the feedback on the channel - I was being a little facetious with the channel name as it does not hold a great value to it. Half-Fast, so it is completely legal in aviation to carry BOTH a BasicMed and a Class 3?

Wish I said a story like this was the first I've heard of it but it isn't. I hear the FAA AeroMed make weird decisions at random. At this point I'm still beyond excited that I even got an SI. I will stay with my SI and keep the FAA Informed of my medical status. I'm thinking of starting a...

At this point I’m going to stick with my Class 3. I’m already in the system I already have my SI, if I have to pay an extra $150 a year to see my neurologist to write a letter stating I’ve had no changes and am still safe to fly then I’ll do it. I think it’s a small price to pay to keep the FAA...

The way I read it is that if I choose to renew my SI - which I may go that route - I must submit documentation 2 months prior to expiration from my Neurologist stating there has been no change and the same background they already have. However, I am held to the same Physical Examination renewal...

As you can see I must routinely send in status updates from my doctor. The gray area is if I should get an EEG everytime as the language states ‘include the results of any current testing deemed appropriate’ I think that deeming would fall on my neurologist’s judgement, no?

Because I see some confusion and discussion of requirements for follow up here is the FULL letter from the FAA

Thanks for the help. I think getting basic med now is the best bet to get myself on a normal tier

Awesome!

So then I must ask: my dream eventually is to fly a turboprop/dual engine Prop IFR. I’ll never see myself going for a Jet endorsement, but if I did get to that point ( it would be for like a small jet nothing commercial) is it possible to revert from Basic Med to Standard Class? I think I know...

Oooo interesting! I do qualify!

Any restrictions? I want to eventually get my ifr and maybe dual engine prop. I’m worried that there is somewhere in the FAA aeromedical world about a restriction with SI and BasicMed

I’ll call nearby flight school at KMJX Monday - any advice? Any other reputable flight schools?

But can someone with a Special Issuance get Basic Med?

Already backed up in 3 places haha thanks!

Everyone, Attached is the Special Issuance Letter with some things censored for privacy. Looks like BasicMed isn’t on the table .. for now.

Already Begun my Ground School :)

And the end of the road has finally come. I called the FAA today, saying I was looking for an update on my medical, Ron, who I have spoken with many times at this point, looked up my file and said 'Looks like everything has been completed and a decision made and it was mailed out last week.' I...
