April 24 – The FAA encourages general aviation pilots to learn
how to meet the BasicMed requirements
Notice Number: NOTC7130
General aviation pilots can now prepare to fly under BasicMed without holding a
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medical certificate as long as they meet
certain requirements. They can fly under BasicMed beginning on May 1, the
effective date of the January 10 final rule. It offers pilots an alternative
to the FAA’s medical qualification process for third class medical
certificates, while keeping general aviation pilots safe and flying affordable.
General aviation pilots may take advantage of the regulatory relief in the
BasicMed rule or opt to continue to use their FAA medical certificate. Under
BasicMed, a pilot will be required to complete a medical education course every
two years, undergo a medical examination every four years, and comply with
aircraft and operating restrictions. For example, pilots using BasicMed cannot
operate an aircraft with more than six people onboard and the aircraft must not
weigh more than 6,000 pounds.
A pilot flying under the BasicMed rule must:
possess a valid driver’s license;
consent to a National Driver Register check;
have held a medical certificate that was valid at any time after July
15, 2006;
have not had the most recently held medical certificate revoked,
suspended, or withdrawn;
have not had the most recent application for airman medical
certification completed and denied;
have taken a BasicMed online medical education course within the past
24 calendar months;
have completed a comprehensive medical examination with any
state-licensed physician within the past 48 months;
have been found eligible for special issuance of a medical certificate
for certain specified mental health, neurological, or cardiovascular
conditions, when applicable; and
not fly for compensation or hire.
Pilots can read and print the Comprehensive Medical Examination Checklist and
learn about online BasicMed online medical courses at www.faa.gov/go/BasicMed
