    Urine test at 3rd class medical for THC

    So there's a yes and no. I try to stay focused. The question, THC tested for in the pee cup or not.

    Basicmed certificate wants doctor's information

    Well, at this point I'd drive there but I don't know what a BM is, at least the kind you're talking about. I'm trying to find someone before 2/18 and so far it's not working out. I like to keep my currency at Vectorair and that's coming up.

    Basicmed certificate wants doctor's information

    yes, I did "dump" it on them. Isn't every extra piece of paperwork at a doctor's office a "dump?" I took the time to "educate" but maybe your education is better and you printed yours out in color.

    Basicmed certificate wants doctor's information

    I just had a physical. The office doesn't want to deal with the FAA form. Awesome. I'm going to find an AME and get this stupid thing done the right way :) I know others have health issues or the potential for that but I should have just found another FAA doc since mine retired.

    Basicmed certificate wants doctor's information

    I suppose a PCP can apply their knowledge to flying and can be helped with the Basicmed checklist. I get your point that a PCP might do more tests and treatment than getting an AME to just pass/fail you. mayoclinic says this about kidney stones. I see some things the FAA might be concerned...

    Basicmed certificate wants doctor's information

    I think if I had just read that Basicmed still requires going to a PCP every 4 years, surrendering your DL info to the FAA and still requires paperwork and test every 2 years about topics that don't apply to me specifically (not saying there's not any other good info in the test) just to avoid...

    I think the key word is vast. I prefer minimal.

    Basicmed certificate wants doctor's information

    I would get my AME exam covered under my medical plan. I just told them to bill it under that code and they would get all their money and I would get my AME physical.
