I started flying in college and had a 3rd class issued in 2008. I soloed and made it to ~30hrs but then graduated, moved, job/family etc... and took a long break. I'm looking to get started again but had some questions about a new medical. In 2012 I woke up dizzy one morning, I didn't have a primary at the time so had to visit the walk-in and they just told me to head to the ER. I spent a few hours in the hospital, they called it vertigo and everything was gone after a couple days. Haven't experienced anything like it in the ~10 years since. My question is what should I expect from an AME for a new third class? Do I need to try to get copies of the hospital records or is this long enough ago to be a non-issue?
Also, is it possible to fly as a student under BasicMed? It sounds like it may be an option since I've already had a medical but not sure it can still double as a student certificate or if it would even save any paperwork in this case.
Thanks,
Russ
