Basic Med Three Year Report Card Has It Worked? - AVweb

Paul - Very interesting interview. One quick correction…the number of pilots actually bottomed out in 2016 and has been slowly, but steadily INCREASING since then! I appreciate your efforts to carefully use statistics, so here’s the FAA data (if the comments will let me post a link)…

Lots of interesting data, which should entertain you for a while. Obviously, Basic Med isn’t the only factor in the change in the pilot population, but I don’t think it hurt. Keep up the great work supporting GA. Cheers!
