my calendar shows about 4 weeks until this thing is supposed to be in effect. wonder when stuff will be published in final form.
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.

I plan on using my AME for this also. 3 weeks to go, should see final "soon".....
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.
17 days to go. sure is quiet out there. guess I'll go ahead and make appointment and hope for the best.
yipee....only 13 days to go. warming up my printer.
