Good point. Do you think it's been too long?

Smart system. So the doctor I went to for BasicMed was actually a DME who also did BasicMed, he was not my primary care doctor. I figured this would be simpler than having to explain to my personal physician the whole BasicMed thing, but if it's not a big deal to get it done with my normal...

That would be great. That means I'd just have to get another copy of my BasicMed stuff. The class itself is still good, I just need to get another card issued, and talk to my Doctor and see if I can get another copy of what he gave me after the last exam. EDIT: I was able to reprint my BasicMed...

https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/medical_certification/media/MedicalRecordsRequestForm.pdf This is the form I need to use to get my Class 3 medical records, right? The form asks for a FAA Medical Reference Number (App ID, MID, PI). I'm not even sure where that would be other than on...

The thing is, I've been flying under BasicMed for the past year while I get some medicine stuff worked out, so I was keeping my expired 3rd Class Medical in my logbook along with all the BasicMed stuff to have proof that I was eligible for BasicMed (having been issued a 3rd Class Medical at some...

Excellent points, I'll definitely format it like that. Keeps things clear cut with a defined beginning and end. And yes, I'll definitely keep this thread updated with how this goes. It might take some time but I'll definitely keep tabs. Hopefully this can help someone else out in the future, or...

You're right, I need to just do my best to reconstruct the logbook, learn from it and make precautions for it not to happen again, and move on. I gotta remember that it could be a lot worse. I've never had any infractions, incidents, accidents, etc. No one is hurt and no aircraft has ever been...

Necessary or not, I'd rather go beyond what is required than risk falling short of it. The way I'm imagining this in my mind is that I basically need copies of all aircraft logs, my 8710-1, statements from operators and instructors, and any other supporting evidence that supports my claim that...

I'm not even sure if my CFI from my Private training is still doing it, but I imagine he'd still have the logbook. I live about 8 hours away from there now though lol. Do you think I'd need him to sign for every log entry in the new logbook for our previous training flights, dual x/c, etc? I do...

The old AOPA page also states: The airman should begin with a signed and notarized statement of previous flight time as the basis for starting a new flight time record. Such a statement should be substantiated by all available evidence such as aircraft logbooks, receipts for aircraft rentals...

That's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to use ForeFlight's logbook as @DesertNomad suggested as well as keep a paper copy, and while I'm at it an electronic scan of that paper copy as well stashed in different places. I guess the only thing I'm not clear on is, do I just re-write the...

Thank you. I did find that browser, but I hadn't found that yet. This is exactly what I needed, I can't thank you enough. It seems I need to write the FAA and request all flight records for me including my 8710-1, which should at least bring me up to when I got my Private. I wonder how to...

Absolutely. If nothing else, I'm certainly learning a lesson. I will have multiple copies of each page, both physically and digitally. I can't believe I didn't already do that. I've done that with almost all of my other aviation-related documentation. For some reason it just didn't occur to me...

I had found this earlier, but when I go to the page for it, it says "The FAA Order 8900.1 Flight Standards Information Management System (FSIMS) document type has already been decommissioned." It links to drs.faa.gov , but I can't find anything on there about lost logbook reconstruction.

The worst has happened. I've spent two weeks going through everything and everywhere, but I'm pretty sure my flight bag was stolen out of my truck while I was at work the morning before a flight. I could spend paragraphs going over how deeply I've looked for it, called around, etc, but I think...

This is true and I agree. I don't trust myself to make sure my aircraft is up to it's certificated standards besides basic ACS, I'm not an A&P. Sure, I can make sure nothing is wrong enough to where I should or shouldn't fly, but I wouldn't trust myself to maintain an airplane long term all by...

This is perfect and exactly what I want to do. It sounds like in at least the case of Flights for Life a Medical is required or at least BasicMed, but I just found out last week I am indeed good for flying under BasicMed as a private pilot so I should be able to do this. Thanks for sharing.

Wow that's pretty insane. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around why they would insist on such ridiculous conditions.

Thank you! Yes, that's a big help.
