What happens, if say, you wind up not flying, and don't make the yearly appointments, for say, the 4-5 year span, and the medical runs out.
What happens to the medical, at that point, besides being expired?
(And I understand without the yearly checkups, there's an issue with it being current..)
Do all the hoops have to be jumped through, again, even if all the bloodwork, and what-not, is A-OK?
Or can I refile for the extension, and barring any issues with the exam itself, be good to go again, with their blessings?
