Why do pilots need a medical
The recent questions about medical certificate, paper trail, sport
pilot etc.. etc..got me thinking. What is the reasoning behind requiring a medical for pilots? Why is a minor medical condition disqualifying for flying a Cessna 172, when the same person can drive a 20,000 lb truck on public roads? Are there statistic to show that medically unfit pilots are a greater danger to society compared to other activities?
