    No! I have it on good authority that the aliens ARE the DMV employees!

    Yep, then we can start trying to find doctors who WILL play the game and actually agree to do the paperwork.

    The FAA really showed congress who the boss is -- with their dog-and-pony show they dreamed up to "comply" with the law.

    I HOPE I'm wrong about how difficult this will be.

    I'm too lazy to do the search to see if the Sport Pilot questionnaire is going into effect as well.

    Is it?

    This week I met a doctor from southern Wisconsin who is also an AME. We talked about BasicMed and he is very supportive. He will do the basicmed exams and continue with 1-3rd class medical examinations.

    So far I've asked the last two AMEs that I've used and both said
    no. My personal doctor said NO (rather loudly) so I may have to
    go back and get a third class every two years ...

    Congress just did not know HOW sneaky the FAA was when Congress
    said that the FAA had to make the rule ...
    so the F(riendly) A(viation) A(gency) made a RULE ...

    'nuff said ......

    I have no idea what you're talking about by the sneaky comment. The FAA pretty much verbatim published what Congress put in the law. If you don't like the provisions of BasicMed, you should go beat on the Senator Feinstein, who was in bed with the AMA on the drivel she tacked on to the original bill.
