glider pilot medicals
re the letter in this months issue of Soaring regarding glider pilot
medicals: I think this letter confuses the medical requirements for power planes, LSA and gliders. As I read the FARs (61.23, 61.53) a US glider pilot does not need a FAA medical, or a drivers license, to fly a glider, and I see no rule saying its not ok for a glider pilot to have failed a FAA medical. I recall FAR 61.23 used to say that for a LSA, one could not have failed a FAA medical, but this seems to have disappeared from the latest version of 61.23. Anyone know where that part of the rule went to?
