Thank you very much to everyone who has chimed in here, I am very grateful for all of the information.

Great find! Thank you

I'm trying to find somewhere online where it says that I can't get a BasicMed if I've ever been denied in the past. Not seeing anything (yet). I wonder if my diagnosis of OCD back then is the culprit... could it be that the diagnosis itself disqualifies me from BasicMed even though I haven't...

Update: I scheduled the BasicMed physical today and just got home. Long story short I started flying when I was around 18 years old (2007). I applied for my 3rd Class Medical around 19 (2008) and then being the stupid teenager I was I apparently got some letters from the FAA about seeing a...

Update: I joined the AOPA to try and get advice about all of this. I briefly explained the situation and the gentleman explained that if I switch to BasicMed that I'm no longer operating under a medical certificate. I do not need to worry about any of the special issuance requirements or keep...

I will be contacting my AME as a starting point as the language in my letter is confusing enough to understand even if I did want to comply and not move to BasicMed. Oddly enough it says that my certificate expires on August 31st of 2021... meaning they...

Wow this is great information. I wish I had seen this a year and thousands of dollars ago. Oh well, we live and learn. BasicMed it is for me I suppose because I'm certainly not going to go through 6 month reporting for literally no extra benefit to me.

For some reason I thought with BasicMed you could not fly with passengers? I've tried googling but not finding that restriction in my results.

Hi all, I am hoping for any advice or input from you all on this... TLDR: Haven't been seen for 15 years for a diagnosis I had as a young child, now (seemingly) have to be seen for the rest of my life every six months if I want to maintain my medical certificate. When I was around 7 or 8 I...
