On: FAA, do your damn job

[Blackthorn]

I wish. You have to get a third class at least once before you can use Basic Med though.

true, basicmed was a relative disappointment based on what people were originally hoping for.

have you considered sport pilot or lsa?

[Blackthorn → nopzor]

You can't do either if you've already applied for third class medical.

[nopzor → Blackthorn]

so a pending (not a denied) class 3 means you can’t fly under lsa? ugh, that sucks.

what about glider or motor glider? same deal?

(i am a private pilot who let his valid class 3 expire, flying under basicmed, getting more into lsa and motorgliders)
