Reaction has started to come in about BasicMed, the long-awaited third-class medical reform released by the FAA on Tuesday morning. Years of effort by EAA and AOPA culminated as the FAA announced regulations that will implement the aeromedical reform law passed through Congress last July. The new regulations will take effect May 1, 2017. Jack J. Pelton, EAA CEO/chairman said in part, “This is the moment we’ve been waiting for, as the provisions of aeromedical reform become something that pilots can now use. We now have the text and will work to educate members, pilots, and physicians about the specifics in the regulation.”
