I currently have a third class medical with an SI. The FAA has since renewed my medical and SI once based on records from my therapist. I'm now approaching the need for a new exam, and I'm considering Basic Med.
Two concerns: If I ever want a medical again, does dropping to Basic Med while my SI is active look bad (evasive) to the FAA? Also, how onerous is the Basic Med exam? I've read horror stories online, and I'm not really feeling the desire for a rectal exam right (and before anyone chimes in, no, I don't have a prostate).
