Still need it to fly through Canada, which is why I'm keeping a 3rd class.

Can you fly out of the country with basic med?

Mexico- yes.
Bahamas- yes.
Canada- no.
AOPA is supposedly working on them, we'll see.
It would be nice for those of us living along the border,
or travelling between Alaska & the lower 48,
if the US would standardize with Canada.
Besides BasicMed, light sport, owner maintenance category, & ADS-B requirements come to mind.



Like!! :D :D Hope Canada gets onboard too.
Hope the FAA does with some of that list as well...

I agree with you on this but I don’t think I will live long enough to see it happen.
