Hello all,
Like many here, after years of dreaming and other things getting in the way, I am finally starting with my flying lessons this coming week. I already have a appt. with a local doctor who does the medical evals for pilots but I am confused. I know that at one time a 3rd class medical was required and I have been reading some of the basicmed thread and don't know what I need. It appears that you can only do basic med if you have already had a 3rd class medical. Is that correct? I have never had a 3rd class medical so do I need that or do I simply need the new basic med eval?
Future plans include starting an RV build before the end of the year. I just don't know what I want for sure. I am seriously considering both the RV-7 and RV-9. Once I get my license, eventually, I hope to get a ride in both a 7 and 9 since I don't know for sure whether I want an aerobatic plane or simply a long legged cruiser.
Thanks for the help.
