They won't approve you if you have a pace maker installed, even if you
are non dependent.

Can you give me a little more details on what the 3rd class medical
involves.

If you're 1) alive, 2) not blind, 3) not on any disqualifying medications
and 4) not suffering from anything known to cause death, unconsciousness
or incapacitating pain, you'll have no problem.

That's not true for the United States. Where are you located?

It's how I read the regs, at least here in Houston, and the reason I
sold my Mooney..

I have never gotten in the FAA system to let them identify me with a
PM to keep my options open. Since I have never been carded for a
Medical in my many years of flying (except as part of a check out at a
FBO) could probably get (buy/build) a bird and fly and never get
caught (unless I had an accident and tried to get payment of
insurance).

I get a monthly check of it's (PM) workings via telephone and has been
the same for the last 8 years. Will probably need a new one (with new
battery) in a year or two. Mine hits about 40% of the time and only a
bit off the normal heart beat timing.

I am not restricted by my health care Doc from any activity nor have I
had any heart problems doing anything.
