Sport medical.


Only in some strange la-la land of your imagination.

Most rational people would just say you are not fit to fly.

Most rational people who develop medical conditions ground themselves in
the interest of survival.

If grampa goes senile the only thing keeping him from either driving or
flying is the relatives hiding the keys.

Someone at the DMV made an error on my driver's license, and
it took me over a year to get it fixed. One location would say
do one thing, another location would say do something else.

All in all I legally couldn't fly Light Sport for about a
year and a half. It basically boiled down to a TYPO.

There are degrees of ineligibility.
