Re: Finally heard from the FAA Medical
|
Hi Ann, You are correct that a medical certificate is needed prior to obtaining Basic Med. I have not held a medical certificate before. However, as I read the letter, it seems the letter authorizes the AME to issue the Class 3 Medical certificate 'on the spot' assuming they determine I am fit to fly.?
I find this rather unexpected so I contacted the AOPA* Medical consultant I have been working with the last 2 years to get her take on this. In any case, I am operating under the assumption that this is a legitimate practice.?
*Yes, I just found out yesterday that EAA also has FAA medical consultants as I read through my EAA 'Welcome Packet'.
Cheers, Mike
