Medical and Sport Pilot
Hello
I have a friend that took flight training about nine years ago , went for his 3 rd. class physical and ended up having by-pass surgery , talked to him this eve. on Ham radio and he wondered what it would take to go with the Sport Pilot rating , I told him that I thought he would have to have any issues with his failed physical cleared up before he could fly with the SP privilege , am wondering exactly what the procedure will be , I told him that he my need to take a new physical , any thoughts on this would be appreciated .

Phil: I have a current 3rd class medical and have had bypass surgery 7
years ago and 6 months after surgery did a complete stress check and got my medical back.. I have to do a stress test every year and submit it to FAA. They approve and if I'm due the normal flight physical, I present the FAA paper work to the Doc and away we go. Not even a nuisance if you want to keep a check on what your arteries are doing.

The way the rule is currently written, if he failed his last medical, he is ineligible. What he needs to do is pass a new physical. Even if he has to go the "Special Issuance" route, once he passes it, he's good to go.
