You sound like someone using excuses to cheat as well. If you lost your FAA medical then cannot claim to be medically fit using a driver’s license.
I have NOT lost my medical and would NEVER cheat.
I am simply trying to have a discussion about the rationale behind the Sport Pilot certificate. At the moment I feel like the guy who asked the fish, "How's the water", to which the fish replied, "What water?"
You seemed to be immersed in the ocean of "All Sport Pilots are cheaters".
I asked about your background in order to better understand your frame of reference. We appear to be looking at the Sport Pilot medical situation from completely different viewpoints.
I no longer fly, primarily due to financial considerations. If I were to fly using the Sport Pilot designation I would meet the letter and the spirit of the law. I am legal & safe to drive automobiles, including pulling a trailer up to 10,000lbs or a Combined Gross Weight of 26,000lbs. Ergo, I am Safe & Legal to fly as a Sport Pilot. Rod Machado, as always, gives a succinct summation:
"First, a sport pilot license doesn't require that you have an FAA issued third-class medical certificate. It only requires that you have a valid U.S.drivers license without having an official denial or revocation of an FAA medical certificate on file with the FAA. This means if you have a drivers license then the FAA considers you medically qualified to fly as a sport pilot in a sport airplane." Why Sport vs. Private Pilot?
I would never drive or fly when I am unsafe. Does my having had a heart bypass make me an unsafe driver? Not according to the several cardiologists by whom I have been treated.
