Will flight medicals as we know them for at least some GA aircraft soon be a thing of the past?
LSA like this FK12 Comet can be flown by a Sport Pilot, with only a driver's license rather than an FAA flight medical.
Although we Sport Pilots only have to self-certify (and have a driver’s license) to legally fly Light Sport Aircraft, *** the success of the self-certification “medical” has no doubt factored into AOPA and EAA’s joint proposal to FAA to expand the concept to include Private Pilots. *** To add your comments to the FAA page about such a medical exemption, go here…the end of the comment period is near, so if you have a take on this topic, let it fly.
