| Subject: | 3rd class medical |
Fellow RVers:
I hate to tell you this but the AOPA has already been there, only they
petitioned to get rid of the medical requirement for private pilots (ie.
Third class medical certificate would be no more). This was about 10-12
years ago and they almost succeeded. The FAA had the new rule up for
comment and they actually were going implement it. Only problem
was....comments from concerned citizens who were worried about pilots
falling out of the sky on them. That was enough to kill the new rule and it
was put on indefinite hold. So.....it's a nobel effort and I'm all for it
but.....being society is getting more risk averse, not less and the
government is getting more controlling, not less...I wouldn't hold my breath
waiting for it to happen. It's worth a try though.

Subject: Petition to remove 3rd class medical for less that 6000 lbs Gross
From: Bill Judge <bjudge@gmail.com>
FellowRV'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.
