    No. It's not possible to fly the aircraft in this scenario.

    Explanation:

    According to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), BasicMed "is an alternate way for pilots to fly without holding an FAA medical certificate as long as they meet certain requirements". The FAA Extension, Safety, Security Act of 2016 (FESSA), established that the following aircraft requirements to fly under BasicMed:

    Any aircraft authorized under federal law to carry not more than 6 occupants Has a maximum certificated takeoff weight of not more than 6,000 poundS.

    So, according to this, the aircraft don't accomplish the FAA requirements to fly under BasicMed.

    The correct answer to the question is:

    - I can not continue to fly that aircraft.

    Explanation:

    BasicMed is a form more simple to fly an aircraft without a certification of the Federal Aviation Administration, as long as the person complies some requirements, which the application for the case is:

    - An aircraft authorized can't carry more than 6 occupants (including the pilot).

    For this reason, an aircraft of 8 occupants can be used under federal law.
