BasicMed

When you initially join Flights for Life, the Records Keeper enters the correct Medical information in your Pilot Profile. After that, it's up to you.

 BasicMed Expirations

If a BasicMed pilot completed the physical exam with his or her state-licensed physician and completed the BasicMed Online Course on September 4, 2019, his or her next physical exam with a state-licensed physician would need to be accomplished four years later, on or before September 4, 2023.

However, the BasicMed pilot’s Medical Self Assessment online course would expire on September 30, 2021, 24 calendar months later.

 To Update your Pilot Profile

Using the above example dates:

Click on the "Medical Class" drop-down menu, and select "BasicMed" . . .

Next to the "Medical Date" box, click on the calendar icon and enter the date you completed the Medical Self Assessment online course.

Two years later, on or before September 30, 2021, you must take the BasicMed online course and in your Pilot Profile, you'll enter the course completion date as your new Medical Date.

 If you fail to update your pilot profile with the new BasicMed Online Course ("Medical Date"), the Flights for Life web site logic will consider your Medical privileges expired.

You will not be able to request missions until you provide a new BasicMed Online Course date in the "Medical Date" box.

 In Summary

Every four years, you'll get a Medical Exam with a state-licensed physician, BUT you won't enter that date in your Pilot Profile. Instead, to keep the FFL web logic happy, every two years, you should enter your BasicMed Online Course completion date in "Medical Date"
