[avid_flyer] sport pilot medical dilemma- failed class 3 medical=never use drivers license Date: 12/26/2008 12:05:31 PM Central Standard Time
this issue is being discussed again on the kitfox yahoo list. one of the
clever kf-er's cited this "approach". new to me but intriguing so i thgt to
present to kolb list brain trust for consideration & possible validation??
" Another thought . An FAA person told me some time ago that if you feel you
may have a problem,go for a class 2 medical. If you pass it great. If not ask
your ME if he thinks you could pass a class 3. If he says no, exam is over.
You did not fail a class 3 medical. You are a Sport Pilot." Larry Huntley KF

Apparently Pat hadn't found it in various posts, but of course he was Ernest K Gann; the Taj incident was before WW2 -- and ALL of his books are well worth reading. I'd recommend A HOSTAGE TO FORTUNE as a start. I may even go back and re-read it; it's that good.
Merry Xmas,
Russ

I don't remember the details from when I read it, either, but also IIRC it was during wartime... when people often must do things with a much lower margin of safety than they'd otherwise find acceptable.
