It is not the full medical. I wouldn't be getting peoples hopes up if I
wasn't positive.

The review for light sport only puts very definate speed and weight
restrictions on the pilots. Those restrictions most certainly lower the
risks of flight involved to others. The procedure is in place, but must
be
requested if it was not done so with the request of the class 3. A class
3
request does not automatically call for a review for light sport
qualifications. Once requested, the FAA can review the file and then make
a
determination as to his or her safety based on the lower performance of
the
aircraft and the lower demands on the pilot for the slower airplanes.

How did you find out about this procedure? Do you know anyone who has been
successful with the review?

If this is a viable procedure, there must be a written record, as to how it
is done, what it's limitations and requirements are, ect. The FAA does not
do anything that is not on paper. Can you point to a reg., circular, or
something on paper?

Anyone else out there ever hear of this?

I, for one, am still skeptical, but would *love* to be proven wrong, by
seeing it in print, in a government record.

Thanks for keeping this as a civil discussion.
