I've recently read a couple of articles concerning people who have had
cancer and upon completion of treatment been able to obtain a special

Why would a special issuance be required if the person had been
successfully treated for cancer and was free of the disease?

I don't remember if a cancer question was on the medical application
or not.
Curious minds want to know.


It will also so depend on what sort of cancer. A brain tumor is going to
be a lot harder to get cleared for than mole gone wrong on your big toe.

A brain tumor is pretty much exclusive, even if benign.

What about two small polyps right near a major nerve in the ear?

Is he flying under the LSA rules, I wonder? The FAA database shows that his

For now he's flying under the sport pilot rules, but when I met him he
said he was hoping to eventually get a special issuance 3rd class
medical approved based on his remarkable recovery plus the
demonstrated ability of a year's worth of cross country flights in the
Cub.
