Had a guy planning a trip and didn’t realize. This is an interesting thing: Basic Med is not permitted in Canada, but I have never had Canadian customs ask to see my medical or pilot certificates. Basic Med is permitted in the US, and CBP always asks to see my medical and pilot certificates. (I asked why once and was told that the FAA asked them to check -- apparently they sometimes catch pilots without appropriate credentials). So, I wonder what happens if you fly to Canada and then return to the US and CBP finds out you have basic med? Probably nothing since you are back on US soil and haven't broken any US laws.
