No, I think it is just saying what we already knew - that you cannot
fly as a sport pilot if you failed your last medical. You DO need to
self-certify when flying as a sport pilot, meaning you must believe
you are medically fit to fly. But I don't think that necessarily means
you have to be able to pass a third class medical, though.

Hi All....This is from a NTSB accident report on an Ercoupe and it is
word for word. I think it will open alot of eyes. "Federal Aviation
Administration regulations state that a person operating a airplane as
a light sport aircraft must have been found eligible for the issuance
of at least a third-class airman medical certificate at the time of
his
or her most recent application if that person has applied for a
medical
certificate in the past". The way I understand this is that if you
have
ever had a medical and feel you can't pass it now it is not legal for
you to take yourself back to be a Sport Pilot as I have heard several
people say they can. If I am wrong on this I am sure many of you will
let me know.....GBG
