Dan too,
Someone out there mentioned that they didn't think a medical
was necessary for a Private Pilot Licensee.
They did not refer to the Sport Pilot License which I have reservations
about regarding the medical condition of the pilot. Medical Requirements.
Generally, sport pilots are allowed to use their state driver's license to
establish medical fitness. What if they have a medical condition that actually
is
dangerous to all concerned. You know what I mean! Those who just do the
wrong thing and get away with it until something happens. "Fate is The Hunter"
Fast story: My Pilot friends wife asked me to inform GADO that her
husband was still flying his twin Beech with their two boys 10 and 13. He had a
heart condition and medically had to stop flying as PIC. He figured he was
"JUST FINE" She informed them herself.
"They all now live happily for ever after."
