Philip, If you have any known physical conditions which might preclude
getting a third class medical you could go directly to sport pilot.

Actually, this is illegal. You are not eligible for a sport pilot license if
you are medically unfit to fly (and the inability to pass an aviation medical
is prima facie evidence of this). If you know you don't qualify medically, you
must not attempt to obtain the sport pilot license, as that would be
fraudulent.

Horse****, the determination of "fit for flight" is a medical one
performed only by a physician so approved. Once you flunked the
medical, /then/ you are screwed for the PPPL.

So don't take the medical /if/ you think you are going to flunk it.
