Ahh, Hampton Roads, KPVG! I bought my C172 there from Lear Stevens years back. At the time they also ran the flight school there, and I spent a week getting "bootcamped" to pass my Private Pilot checkride! That was about the most fun week ever! I've been flying BasicMed since it came out, or when my last 3rd class medical expired. It's easy. It's a quick 2 page checklist any doctor can do, mine told me it's very similar. to a commercial trucker exam. You do that every 4 yrs and don't send it anywhere, just keep it stored somewhere. And there's the every 2 yr retake te online course, free from AOPA, piece of cake!
🤣Dang! What a coincidence!! This is the ONLY question I missed on my written for PPL so I studied the heck out of this and today I just passed my PPL Checkride at KVGT 5 hours ago!🤣 Thanks for the info Mike! Oh and shout out to my CFI Dabne and the DPE Ernie!! TOP NOTCH CFI AND DPE!!!I start Instrument training with Liberty University 1/13/25 and looking forward to it!!👍
As stated in this video, under basic med you can have the pilot plus six passengers. I don’t think that’s correct. From what I’ve read it can be a total of six people in total, and that number includes the pilot, and the plane must be authorized to carry up to only 6 people. If the plane is an 8 occupant plane you cannot fly it with passengers under basic med.
Older? I'm 67 with a valid 1st Class Medical Certificate. A buddy of mine is 74, flying Part 91 corporate Boeing Business Jet (BBJ). Another bud's kid medical'ed out of certification at age 38. It's all relative. Basic Med broadens the scope of who can fly what, and why. The important stipulation NOT mentioned here is that if you fail a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Class exam, you cannot go into Basic Med.
Just to add to this if you fail an exam, you will need to get at least 3rd Class Special Issuance first then transition to Basic Med. AOPA medical assistance is a great resource to help you get the special issuance. If you know you will fail a exam then do not do the exam (or fill out the online form) and go to Basic Med, you do not want to take an exam if you know you will fail. It's more complicated if you have a failure on your record.
I've just turned 42... couldn't do it in my 30's cause I got offered a job and I took that job only cause the job was in France... so I have the money to do my ppl & cpl too... just need to find the time to do it ....
Question - Lets say I hit the lotto and am currently working on my pilots license. Now, instead of buying a used C172 I can afford an TBM940, Epic E1000 or PIlatus PC12....etc. All of these aircraft meet the stipulations for Basic Med with the exception that they are all capable of flying faster than 250 knots. With Basic Med am I regulated in the air to a maximum Vne of 250 knots or are these aircrafts not allowed to be operated by a holder of Basic Med classification?
Mike. You say the new medical standards apply " from 18 to 70 " . I am 71 and have not flown in 30 years. Should i understand your range was just for illustration purposes ? Do the rules differ for polots older than 70 ? Thanks. 9:31
I went to an ame on Aug 30th and he differed my medical because I was on ozempic and I was wondering why it's taking the faa so long so I can start flying and I just found out that it's not uncommon for someone to wait so long. I wish I knew someone that can get them to look at my file
@viperdocf16 funny enough I did call the office in okc because when I signed into my application it told me to call because I have submitted my application over 60 days ago and when I call the person basically tells me what I already see on the website and just straight up hangs up on me before I could get another word out
I would love it if GMEN-owner John Mara had highlighted to clean house by getting KCChief GM-President Of Player Personal Brett Veach and, of course, 8-SuperBowl Championships; two of those Nattys began with the Giants Bill- Belichick. Beacuse, if you think about this fine mess, has to do everything, with CEO-John Mara really. LetsGoGiants🤘🏼!
I am 31 year old, after looking through your videos I really want to fly learning, is it possible for me right now to learn flying and get a ppl licence ?

@@davidcollier3604 Thanks for making that point. Also, not all AMEs get involved with Basic Med, and many MDs aren't willing to get involved with it.

Mosaic already passed....it just has to be published in the new FAR AIM.. due out soon.
But doesn’t it actually go into effect in about 18 months? That’s what I’ve been told, not true?

Glad to hear that my 55 year-old butt is going to be able to slide a KingAir. about time we updated the regulations
Not for light sport
I’m older and want to get back into it.👍👍👍
You can get a light sport without a medical
56, retired military, and interested in getting my PPC. However, I heard sleep apnea is an immediate disqualification? 🤔
It's not. I believe you need to be treating it is the only issue.

This is a really welcome development for those of us who are in good health now, but who have had issues in the past. You made my day with this!

Call your regional FAA Flight Surgeons Office for help or you can call the FAA AMCS in OK City.
@viperdocf16 funny enough I did call the office in okc because when I signed into my application it told me to call because I have submitted my application over 60 days ago and when I call the person basically tells me what I already see on the website and just straight up hangs up on me before I could get another word out
