The period for commenting on self certification for sport aviaition vs a third class medical is currently open. I would encourage all of the US pilots on this forum to please go comment on line at <http://www.regulations.gov/#!searchResults;rpp=25;po=0;s=FAA-2012-0350>
This is the petition from the EAA/AOPA to allow a US drivers license, an on-line training course, and self certification in place of the third class medical for aircraft up to 180 HP carrying only one passenger. Obviously, the pilots of all of the KR aircraft could fall under this change in regulation should the petition be accepted. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM ----- Original Message ----- The FAA now has a petition in hand from AOPA and EAA to increase the scope of driver's license in place of medical certificates to a flat 180 HP and fixed gear.
