Regulations The FAA Has Changed In Response To COVID-19

It might be wise to check with your insurance carrier.Â* I sent mine a
copy of the certificate I mentioned before and the underwriter said,
"Yes, you are covered."

The FAA did not waive the medical requirements, they only said they
would not pursue enforcement action.Â* I read that as, "You do not have a
current and valid medical, but we won't come after you before (was it?)
June 30th.Â* The insurance company might just as well take the position
that your medical is not valid.

And, for the record, I have switched to Basic Med.Â* I don't need to fly
for hire any more or cross any international borders.

Interesting, my policy appears to have words to make it ok if the FAA makes it ok, but talking to the company seems wise.

A) While the aircraft is in flight it will be piloted only by the person(s) specifically named as pilot(s) for your aircraft listed below, provided that the pilot-in-command has:
...
if required, a current and valid FAA Medical Certificate;
if required, a current and valid Biennial Flight Review;
