Dear Listers, Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous feasts of plenty and giving thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon us. Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists. One of my favorite comments is when someone writes to me and says something like, "Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!". That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists. Its always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning to check my List email!! Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for their continued operation and upgrade? The List Contribution Site is: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 USA Thank you in advance for your kind consideration, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:41:11 AM PST US From: Terry Phillips Subject: Zenith-List: Bahamas to allow pilots to fly LSA's as sport pilots w/o Class III medical Today an Avweb article announced that the Bahamas are the first foreign jurisdiction to allow US and Canadian pilots daytime flights in LSA's with only a driver's license. See http://www.bahamas.com/bahamas/light-sport-aircraft-approval This is actually the first reference that I've seen to sport pilots in Canada. Are Canadian LSA pilots allowed to fly without a class III medical? If so, are they allowed to fly in the US w/o a class III? Perhaps there is hope that, someday, the Canadians will allow US pilots to fly LSA's in Canada w/o a class III. That would be fantastic! Happy Thanksgiving one and all.

I'm going for a sport pilot certificate and Bimini is just 71 miles away from Kendall Tamiami Airport, that like a 35 minutes flight in an LSA. A destination that I cannot reach by car.
