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 theWashingtonMonumentthe guy has a pretty good track record getting things pastgovernmentbureaucracy. If you check out his airports web page you'll see he isn't shy about it either. So, now on the docketto 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 fogeysbefore they get dangerous to others. Dave is trying to get as many comments as possibleto force rulemaking action: Document http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/contentStreamer?objectId0000648099d311&disposition=attachment&contentType=pdf Petition for comment http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#submitComment?R0000648099d311 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.
