List for a SI

[Ventucky Red]

Is there a listing of what conditions you need to get a special issuance for, for a medical certificate?

Does this listing cover it all?

I think there are more possible SI’s than what is on that list.

The list you linked are those the AME can re-issue in office if the specifications in the airman’s SI letter are met.

I’m pretty sure there are more SI’s and those need to go to to AMCD each time.

One example that is not on your linked list is the one for alcohol.

I think drugs and alcohol go without saying. Found anther list that is the CACI recommendation that pretty much mirrors this one.

Guess what I am looking for is a list of conditions that would trigger one to go get third class with an SI while on Basic Med to be legal - which may not exist at this time.

That exists for sure. It is limited to (by law):

Medical Conditions Requiring One Special Issuance Before Operating under BasicMed

• A mental health disorder, limited to an established medical history or clinical diagnosis of—
  • A personality disorder that is severe enough to have repeatedly manifested itself by overt acts;
  • A psychosis, defined as a case in which an individual —
    • Has manifested delusions, hallucinations, grossly bizarre or disorganized behavior, or other commonly accepted symptoms of psychosis; or
    • May reasonably be expected to manifest delusions, hallucinations, grossly bizarre or disorganized behavior, or other commonly accepted symptoms of psychosis;
  • A bipolar disorder; or
  • A substance dependence within the previous 2 years, as defined in §67.307(a)(4) of 14 Code of Federal Regulations
• A neurological disorder, limited to an established medical history or clinical diagnosis of any of the following:
  • Epilepsy;
  • Disturbance of consciousness without satisfactory medical explanation of the cause; or
  • A transient loss of control of nervous system functions without satisfactory medical explanation of the cause.
• A cardiovascular condition, limited to a one-time special issuance for each diagnosis of the following:
  • Myocardial infarction;
  • Coronary heart disease that has required treatment;
  • Cardiac valve replacement; or
  • Heart replacement.

So anything outside of what is listed above does not require going back and re-applying for a third class, obtaining an SI, then going back to Basic Med - correct?

Absolutely. It's "Limited to" that list by law.

There are many other maladies that you might want to talk to a doctor about before flying, just not the FAA's doctors.
