FAA petition to eliminate Class 3 medical for Private Pilots

I agree that automotive medical incapacitation leading to an accident is rare,
but the driving environment is quite a bit different than the flying
environment.
OK, then look at the medical incapacitation of glider pilots, which is no worse
than that of the general population of GA pilots, even though they can fly
without a medical certificate.. In just a few years, I predict that there will
be enough data for us to know that LSA pilots also have similar results, even
though some of them may have been attracted to LSA's precisely because they
can't qualify for a third class medical..
