Last year, after sending my application and supporting documents to the FAA, I received a third class medical certificate signed by a FAA doctor and annotated “Not valid for any class after 12/31/2022”
I also received the letter entitled Authorization for Special Issuance of a Medical Certification which expires in 2027. It states that “At least 60 days prior to the expiration of your medical certificate, you must submit the following” and then specifies a list of medical documentation.
This is not for any sort of psychiatric, drug, or alcohol issue.
My understanding is that if I do nothing, and submit no medical documentation, my existing medical will simply expire on 12/31/22 and I can do BasicMed from here on. Is that correct?
I am slightly spooked by the “at least 60 days prior” language. I want to make sure that the FAA will not revoke my existing medical sometime before 12/31 if they have not received the documents requested.
