Fellow RV'ers:
Dave Wartofsky, my local airport owner has put up a petition to allow
for flying aircraft with max gross less than 6000 lbs with a drivers
license as a medical. Think of light sport without all the slow and
light. This would include all RV's.
As you can imagine, owning a Functioning airport that is 10 miles from
the Washington Monument the guy has a pretty good track record getting
things past government bureaucracy. If you check out his airports web
page you'll see he isn't shy about it either.
So, now on the docket to revitalize GA industry, and reduce
impediments and economic impacts, a formal petition for rulemaking
(with SecDot) to amend the 3rd class medical (not for commercial ops)
only to be required for aircraft over 6,000 lbs (only when public
threat is greater than any auto)
Lots of logical analysis why. See petition online. A driver's license
and BFR's (and insurance rates) will catch the old fogeys before they
get dangerous to others.
Dave is trying to get as many comments as possible to force rulemaking action:

Petition for comment

Goals:
Revitalize GA
Reduce impacts
Logical step to economic recovery
I put in comments as follows:
"
Mr. Wartofsky's argument for relaxation of the medical standards is
sound. With light sport, the acknowledgement that small aircraft and
cars require similar physical fitness standards for operation has been
made and insurers have endorsed this acknowledgement. 6000 lbs max
gross take off weight appropriately limits the damage one can do to
both persons on the ground and the number of passengers that can be
carried. Limiting to non commercial operations prevents any undue
pressure to avoid loss of compensation from not flying. As
regulators, you too can protect and expand our freedoms as much as our
warfighters in Iraq and Afghanistan by removing encumbrances to the
free will of the people.
"
