Basic Med Loop Hole?
Posted: Fri Jan 17, 2020 1:21 pm
As odd as it seems, I sometimes see the FAA regulations as a fun puzzle. Yes, I did say "as odd as it seems".
You can get a sport license and fly without a 3rd class medical ASSUMING you've never been denied or had your medical revoked.
Basic Med requires that you have had a valid 3rd class medical after - what, 2006 or something.
But (maybe I missed it) it doesn't say that you can't get Basic Med if you had a 3rd class medial revoked.
I've got to missing something!
(Just to document - I've got a 3rd class medical and a PPL license, I've never had anything revoked, nor do I have any reason that it ever will be. I'm not putting this puzzle up for nefarious reasons, just a puzzle. )
