If you can accept the Sport Pilot limitations, have current valid medical
and can self-certify, then there is no reason to get another flight medical
exam except for losing your driver's license.

more pilots give up on getting a special issuance before being _denied_.

Can you or someone explain how this works? I've been told to bring a
narrative history of asthma to my next aero-med physical, and I think
some other documentation. (It's a year away.) When does this sort of
precaution turn into a Special Issuance, and when does a Special
Issuance turn into a denial?

(I had my first physical bucked to the FAA, and it took forever and a
helpful inquiry from a gent in high position to get it out of there.
For the two ensuing physicals, the doc has signed it there in the
office.]
