Does a special issuance show up on the airman's registry web site?

A chap I know needs a special issuance for diabetes. I bought a plane
from him some years back and had been letting him fly it from time to
time.

I got a bug and checked him out on the Airman's registry. There it
said his last medical was dated in 2001 making it 3 years out of date.
The restrictions section mentioned glasses and "Miscellaneous
restrictions"

When I confronted him, he claimed that all he had to do was have his
doctor sent Oklahoma a statement that he was fit every year and he was
good to go. In other words no 3rd class physical needed. !!!!

I am thoroughly ****ed since if he had an accident in my airplane, my
insurance would have been void and I would have taken it up the butt.

Is he right??



Tell him you need to see and copy his medical for your insurance
company. It's a little white lie that will allow you to save face if
indeed he produces a valid medical....
