When completing the CMEC section two prior to the physical exam with a state licensed physician, item 16 on the form asks for the date of your last FAA medical application. That is referring to the last FAA flight physical for a medical certificate, not the date of your BasicMed physical exam. You are confirming that you held a valid medical certificate on or after July 15, 2006 so that you can legally operate under the BasicMed regulation.
