Glider Safety
I submit that there is no case for a glider medical. I know of two
pilots who both had current FAA medicals and had heart problems requiring stent implantation. Neither had any physical warning, much less an AME telling them they had impending problems. Both are, thankfully, just fine - but no thanks to a bureaucratic medical process. -John On Feb 22, 12:42 pm, Andy wrote: Is there a case for requiring a medical certificate for SSA sanctioned contests?
