![]() "Morgans" wrote in message ... "mark" wrote 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. -- Jim in NC Jim one of the issues with this type of procedure is that its a case by case basis. I did the research a while back because of my own health issues. They are still new so as I said they are not in 67 yet. They should be LSA information or the Aviation Medical Examiners manual. It will be several days for me to dig it out. It really isn't anything more than they do on any other medical. It is effectively a special issuance for the ability to fly LSA. I gave the AOPA number in a previous post. Don't take my word for it. Call them yourself. It is very possible that this request might have been done for the orginal poster with the inital application. Its also possible it wasn't. Only he would know and its none of our business the nature of the medical issue. Anyone that wants to fly that bad and is willing to press his medical that far, is someone I hope can be safe, approved and legal. |
