This is different from "not requiring a medical." The basic premise of the
medical exam is to rule out obvious disabilities (or at least defer them to
a demonstration of ability) and then frame your sudden risk of
incapacitation based on the class of medical.

The LSA requires an unrestricted drivers license which provides for the
first component (you don't require hand controls or a seeing eye dog) and
you are expected to use adult common sense on your known health conditions
for the latter.

Ross, sorry to hear about selling your airplane. I applaud your judgement
and am sure its an insight into your cockpit decision making. We will all
join there eventually if not abruptly.

Regards
Todd

As to LSA you still have to self certify (not sure how many will be

Thanks. I am just glad I was able to sell it so quickly to a good friend
that knew how well it was maintained in the last 12 years. When I sold
my 21' boat back in '96 it was the same thing, a good friend bought it
with out a hassle because of the care it had.
