However, I would strongly recommend you discuss with your attending physician the advisability of doing so given your medical conditions and safety considerations. Unfortunately, in light of your having received a formal denial from the FAA, you are not eligible to operate Light Sport Aircraft. Nestor Kowalsky, M.D. Regional Flight Surgeon AGL-300 Great Lakes Region *********** My doc already suggested I go that route. So Dr. Kowalsky need not be too concerned. So, I am going to check it out further. I would not mind a sailplane rating. And if the aircraft is rated as a sailplane and self launching, then I can get those endorsements as well. The "motor glider" can not weigh more than 1836 pounds and can not have a loading of more than .62 lbs, that is weight to span squared. Now to research what aircraft are rated as sailplane, self launching and has all that. But I would be just as happy unpowered. Flying is Flying, whether powered or unpowered.
