What are the requirements outlined in 14 CFR Part 68?

• A. Operating Certain Small Aircraft Without a Medical Certificate
• B. Certification: Pilots, Flight Instructors, and Ground Instructors
• C. Medical Standards and Certification
• D. Airworthiness Directives

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding that 14 CFR Part 68 provides an alternative path to operating certain small aircraft without the traditional FAA medical certificate. Under this Part, eligible pilots can fly without a medical certificate if they meet specific conditions commonly known as BasicMed.

Key points are that you must have a valid US driver's license, undergo a medical examination with a physician within the required time frame, complete a medical education course, and keep documentation showing you’ve met these requirements. The aircraft you fly under this path must weigh 6,000 pounds or less, and you’re limited to certain operational ceilings—generally up to 18,000 feet MSL and 250 knots true airspeed, within US airspace, and not for compensation or hire. This combination of criteria is what allows flight without a traditional medical certificate under Part 68.

The other options refer to different regulatory areas—medical standards for a standard medical certificate, certification for pilots and instructors, or airworthiness directives—so they don’t describe what Part 68 governs.
