Medical and Sport Pilot

[Phil]

Hello
I have a friend that took flight training about nine years ago , went for
his 3 rd. class physical and ended up having by-pass surgery , talked to him
this eve. on Ham radio and he wondered what it would take to go with the
Sport Pilot rating , I told him that I thought he would have to have any
issues with his failed physical cleared up before he could fly with the SP
privilege , am wondering exactly what the procedure will be , I told him
that he my need to take a new physical , any thoughts on this would be
appreciated .

Phil: I have a current 3rd class medical and have had bypass surgery 7
years ago and 6 months after surgery did a complete stress check and got my
medical back.. I have to do a stress test every year and submit it to FAA.
They approve and if I'm due the normal flight physical, I present the FAA
paper work to the Doc and away we go. Not even a nuisance if you want to
keep a check on what your arteries are doing.

You are correct. The way the rule is currently written, if he failed his
last medical, he is ineligible. What he needs to do is pass a new physical.
Even if he has to go the "Special Issuance" route, once he passes it, he's
good to go.
