In this episode of Fly the Transition, we’re diving deep into the FAA’s 2024 medical certification changes and what they mean for pilots at every stage of their aviation journey. With new rules aimed at reducing processing delays, pilots now face a different landscape—one where incomplete medical applications can result in initial denials rather than lengthy deferrals.

We’ll break down the specifics of these changes, explore why they’ve been implemented, and share actionable advice to help you navigate this evolving system. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot, just beginning your aviation dreams, or exploring alternatives like BasicMed or Sport Pilot certifications, this episode will equip you with the tools to make informed decisions about your flying future.
