Basic Med and safety pilot

[Matthew]

Basic Med requires a safety pilot to be PIC. I *thought* there was some discussion about changing that, but I haven’t been able to find anything more about it. Is that still the case? Any info on potential changes to that?

it is no longer the case. The regulation changed effective 6 months ago.

My article in IFR Magazine (no paywall on this one).

Thanks.
