Finished BasicMed

[gdwindowpane]

So I finished the BasicMed process today. Printed my online certificate and will keep it along with my BasicMed forms in my log book. Information was submitted to the FAA.

Am I good to go? I need to get some solo hours in preparation for solo cross countries and my class 3 expired 6/30/18. Should I expect any communication from the FAA? My class 3 came with some special issuances, none of which are on the BasicMed no go list.

Pretty good deal if everything is straight. 2 years and retake the course/quiz and 4 years until next full physical.

Based on what you've written, I'm pretty sure you are good to go. Even if you had one of those conditions on the BasicMed no-go list, as long as you had a SI for it, you wouldn't need another SI.

Yes, it is an excellent deal - for those who qualify.

Whether you'll get a letter from OKC - no way to predict. But I don't think most people do. I didn't, and I already had 3 SIs and would have needed a 4th to get another 3rd class.

What you printed out is all you need, and you'll not receive any communication from the FAA.

And you can see what the FAA knows about you here

That's good news. I just thought I read somewhere on POA about some getting letters from the FAA with ambiguous statements regarding their eligibility. Oh well I'll keep on training.

Thanks!!!

I saw that too, and it's why I was a little guarded in my answer. When dealing with the FAA, one can never be 100% sure. But the thing to remember is that with BasicMed, FAA doesn't see the completed checklists - just the name and contact info of the physician who signed you off, and of course your aeromedical course completion certificate. I think that nearly everyone (maybe even everyone) who receives the letter has some administrative issue disqualifying them such as a denial or revocation as their last interaction with FAA medical, or a last medical that expired prior to July 2006. The only other kind of issue that I can think of that might bite some people is a criminal conviction or DUI, something in the records that you give them permission to search.

Cross fingers, forget about it, and keep training!
