Re: Custom Keyring
Petco and PetSmart have engraving machines. I got a dog-tag shaped tag, engraved with the club name and N- number on one side and my name and cell number on the other.

Re: Basic Med gray area
Tucked away in my flight bag is a brand new, freshly signed Third Class Medical. The words”Special Issuance” does not appear anywhere on the document or letter accompanying it. :D Congratulations, Bruce! My special issuance didn't have "Special Issuance" anywhere on it either, but Under &...

Re: 3600 lbs gross for LSA ?
So... what are the chances of this scenario: Someone took 750kg and converted it to 1650 pounds. Then someone else came along and didn’t realize that was already converted and multiplied it again by 2.2 getting 3630, then rounded down to 3600 because we like round numbers. And then nobody proofread ...

Re: Basic Med gray area
Required tests complete and results shipped up to NY. Now to see if this is good enough to give me a SI or if they’ll want more tests.
I expect to hear something back any month now.

Re: 3600 lbs gross for LSA ?
While I think this is great overall news, it has the potential to be seriously depressing for me if my SI doesn’t happen.

Re: Basic Med gray area
Yeah, I know, Shawn. I’d say it’s been a huge headache, but that’d be a red flag from one of the events (hint, if you wreck a motorcycle, do try not to land on your head and take a nap on the roadside)! And since I’m now “all in” on the process, failure also slams the Sport Pilot door.

Re: Basic Med gray area
Just an update... I had visited a local AME who has a good reputation for working with pilots who have issues in late July for a consultation. Talked to him about 2 issues of concern (I'll keep them off the public forum for now). He said neither will present a big problem, but will require him to de...

Re: Basic Med gray area
If you’re a college football fan, play Lee Corso saying “Not so fast, my friend” in your head right now. So... my medical was issued 4/2003 and I was under the age of 40. BUT... at that time, the “Under 40” valid time was only 36 months taking me to 4/2006. The FAA didn’t change THAT to 60 months u...

Re: Basic Med gray area
Yes, even they can get balled up at times. It's just a person stating what they think it says when that's not at all what it says. True, and I get that people are human (I make plenty of mistakes to prove that old adage), but getting that wrong in the AC seems like something that should have been c...

Re: Basic Med gray area
You must have held a valid FAA medical certificate within the 10 year look-back period from when Basic Med was signed into law 7/15/16. So, if your medical certificate was valid on 7/16/06 or after, you qualify for Basic Med unless there is some other problem that people will bring up to prove I'm ...
