The recent questions about medical certificate, paper trail, sport
pilot etc.. etc..got me thinking. What is the reasoning behind
requiring a medical for pilots? Why is a minor medical condition
disqualifying for flying a Cessna 172, when the same person can drive a
20,000 lb truck on public roads? Are there statistic to show that
medically unfit pilots are a greater danger to society compared to
other activities?


There are a lot of people at the FAA who's job it is to "review" and reject
medicals. And those people have supervisors. And those people have managers,
etc. etc. etc.

Does it make sense now?
