Recent FAA Final Rule Enables BasicMed Holders New Privilege - AVweb

I suspect the pilot who did not take the hint of another pilot on a check ride was not keeping situational awareness to detect when something goes wrong.

I don’t know what he did wrong, wish I’d asked the hinter what he saw that prompted him to ask the checkee where he was.

I know the hinter went on to do very well for the airline, do not know what happened to the checkee. I met one 3rd-seater who came from instructing at a flight school (a popular path in those days).
