Basic Med with Avemco?

[Van Lanier]

Does anyone have experience converting from a 2nd Class FAA medical to Basic Med when insured by AVEMCO?  Mooney M20C.  No medical exclusions, just preparing for the future.  Age 73.  

Many thanks.

That's what my various policies have said over the years.  I recall @Parker_Woodruff saying it doesn't matter to insurance, but don't want to put words in his mouth

I flew under Avemco with basic med, was a non issue.

I asked them the question directly when I started with them two years ago. They said it was fine.

I fly with Basic Med under Avemco.  No problem.

Basically it almost never matters for rates for personal aircraft, but it can matter for insurability for certain insurance companies past a certain age.  Many insureds over age 75 must get a 3rd class or higher level of medical certificate.

Not sure exactly what Avemco's requirements are these days.
