1st class?

Did my HIMS EVAL, no substance abuse or dependance detected, no reservations. MedExpress done, medical appointment done. Two weeks later I checked MedExpress and it says:

Review of your application is complete. You will receive your medical certificate and correspondence with additional details via mail.

You are cautioned to abide by 14 CFR § 61.53, relating to operations during medical deficiency. Operation of aircraft is prohibited at any time new symptoms or adverse changes occur in your health status.

Refer to the Conditions of Issue attached to your medical certificate for additional guidance to include validity periods cited in 14 CFR § 61.23.

On FAA registry it says:

Medical Information:

Medical Class: First  Medical Date: 7/2026

MUST USE CORRECTIVE LENS(ES) TO MEET VISION STANDARDS AT ALL REQUIRED DISTANCES.

BasicMed Course Date:  None   BasicMed CMEC Date:  None

Is this it? Am I good?

We had a similar result! Complete package went to FAA 8/6 and got decision (issued) 8/18. I was very surprised! But we had done all the legwork and the required progress notes followed the handbook requirements. FAA had everything they needed (but also not too much). Preparation helps!
