<p>I agree. I was looking at the 640 for my next build (the wife wants a 4 seater), but it looked like Zenith had completely abandoned the design.</p>

<p>It has so been proven. Remember this is not significantly different than truck drivers and hardly any doctors are truck drivers. However, I did see a pickup in Illinois that had the persons name on the door and advertising "Light Hauling & Brain Surgery." Seems he paid his way through medical school doing light hauling and continued as a hobby. :-)</p>

<p>I agree. With matched-hole parts availability, this could very well be my next build. Or a build for my EAA chapter.</p>

<p>My 3rd class was every year as I had an SI. There can be a wide range of conditions that could make one better than the other for each individual. But one thing the Basic Med has on AME medical is Basic Med can not be failed only denied. AME medical can be failed and then the fun begins to get it back.</p>

<p>Huge difference between "not aware" and "certify" John. And the way it is worded is why a doctor should be willing to sign if they have not checked in item in the form that would make them suspicious. Jim says it is a "subtle" difference but I disagree with that as well. The statements are not even close. To "certify" one should be fully qualified and knowledgeable on all as aspects. To be not aware could be nearly the opposite.</p>

<p>You guys need to read the actual forms more carefully. The doctor is not "certifying" you in any way. He's simply stating that he has reviewed the information with you. A subtle, but significant difference.</p>

<p>I went over this with my AME, who did Basic Med exam for me. it's a change in perspective and attitude. Whether stated or not, the AME in any class medical was saying you are safe to fly an aircraft. Basic med is saying I don't see any reason why you are unsafe to fly an aircraft. One is approval, the other is lack of reason to disapprove. It is subtle, but definitely a difference. I made sure the AME was in agreement that this was the intent and perspective.

<p>Stan.....I called my primary Doctor and was told that he WAS NOT going to it....period. It's like my first AME doctor I seen, I asking to get a 3rd class exam and he said that I need to see another doctor....he only does 1st class exam.</p>
<p>Hopefully, the last AME that I used for my last 3rd class can do Basicmed......</p>
