AOPA Petitions FAA to Ease Medical Restrictions

AOPA is petitioning the FAA to fix the sport pilot "Catch 22" and to
allow recreational pilots to fly with a "driver's license medical."

"That would mean that even if you've lost your medical, you could
still fly something as large as a Cessna 172 if you're healthy enough
for a driver's license and don't have any medical conditions that
could incapacitate you," said AOPA President Phil Boyer.


Sounds like smart thinking. Thus, it must die horribly in committee.
