Under BasicMed a pilot cannot fly faster than which indicated airspeed?

• A. 250 knots
• B. 300 knots
• C. 200 knots
• D. 180 knots

Answer: (A)

Under BasicMed, the maximum indicated airspeed for operating an airplane is 250 knots. This limit keeps BasicMed operations within a safe general aviation envelope while still simplifying medical certification. You can fly slower than 250 knots, but you may not exceed 250 knots; so 300 knots would be outside the limit, while 200 knots or 180 knots are under the limit and allowable.
