Hey guys. Just heard today the faa may be trying to instate a new lifetime “grandfather” HIMs program for people with substance abuse. Anyone that’s been in the HIMs program may only be issued a medical by a HIMs AME for the duration of their career even after successful monitoring of the 3-5...

I understand that the most recent medical may include an SI. However, J stone must have had his 8500 deferred to the FAA that may require HIMS monitoring. If HIMS is required, I don't believe he can switch to basicmed. If monitoring is not required, nonissue. If he already had an SI issued...
